Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. as I am the kind of reader who avoids books in which "Futurist" refers not to Marinetti et. al but to some Objectivist who uses his eDiets money to commission cryogenic research/memory-uploading software, I knew I was taking a chancd but figured I ought to. I didn't expect so shallow a book. I hoped to learn something of *how* the deep web functions, but this book was really just a statement *that* it functions. things I did learn from this author: "the internet is power and freedom" and "after you explore an internet subculture, the issues don't seem black and white anymore." gag me with a Coleco voice-synthesis module. I don't know that I can do a review of this book that will do it justice, so, instead, I'll simply state two things it did for me. The first is, it truly scared the living shit out of me with the chapters on some of the incredibly broken humans behind some of the sites. The second is, it now has me reevaluating how much I want to be online. Right now, the answer is, very, very little. This is a book that's going to stay with me for some time. Read it. Read it and have your eyes opened to what's out there. To write without prejudice about some difficult subjects in the online world, from child pornography to neo-nazi forums, is a difficult task. Bartlett does so with a tone and writing style that is accessible and informative, without preaching. The book is well paced, and each chapter deals well with a single subject matter. Bartlett's own observations are scant - he is documenting and not judging what he sees, and for the most part he remains partisan. The result is an engaging and interesting book that explores the internet's deep chambers, and tells stories of the people who frequent these virtual places. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

An Independent and New Statesman Book of the Year Beyond the familiar online world that most of us inhabit--a world of Google, Facebook, and Twitter--lies a vast and often hidden network of sites, communities, and cultures where freedom is pushed to its limits, and where people can be anyone, or do anything, they want. This is the world of Bitcoin and Silk Road, of radicalism and pornography. This is the Dark Net. In this important and revealing book, Jamie Bartlett takes us deep into the digital underworld and presents an extraordinary look at the internet we don't know. Beginning with the rise of the internet and the conflicts and battles that defined its early years, Bartlett reports on trolls, pornographers, drug dealers, hackers, political extremists, Bitcoin programmers, and vigilantes--and puts a human face on those who have many reasons to stay anonymous. Rich with historical research and revelatory reporting, The Dark Net is an unprecedented, eye-opening look at a world that doesn't want to be known. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
