Everyone thinks they know what is out there on the Internet. They have a Facebook account, their Gmail is pushed to their phone, and they make regular purchases on Ebay and Amazon. But this online world is only the tip of the iceberg. Below the surface of what gets indexed on Google there is a vast online world full of anarchists, trolls, criminals, social revolutionaries, and others who for whatever reason are looking for something beyond what is available on Google and Facebook. Welcome to the Dark Net. A place where the concept of freedom is stretched to its limit. A place where you can buy pretty much anything if you have enough Bitcoin. A decentralized world where trust is crowd-sourced and government is irrelevant.
People are attracted to the Dark Net for a wide variety of different reasons, from drugs, sex and violence, to a desire to opt out of conventional law and order and create a new and better world. In this ground-breaking book, Gordon Summers dives deep into the furthest reaches of the Dark Net to explore what goes on in an online world most have never accessed or even heard of. What he has found will shock you, entertain you, and maybe even scare you.
