Description and characteristics: The Internet is not only social networks, online stores and search sites. There is also a dark side of the Internet - a kind of digital underground, where complete anonymity reigns, and the content of sites is open only to its own. You can find anything there, including what is prohibited by law. And this book will reveal the secrets of this "Underground Internet". The author of the book penetrates into the secrets of the dark and dangerous world of the "underground Internet" - "Darknet". It is here that the most radical ideas of our time are born, and services and goods prohibited by law are easily purchased for cryptocurrency. Anonymity, terrorism, secret documents, bets on the death of celebrities - only a small part of what Jamie Bartlett impartially and honestly talks about in his book. Jamie Bartlett is a graduate of the London School of Economics and Oxford University, director of the Center for Social Media Research, one of the world's leading experts in the field of the influence of modern technologies on the life of society. The author of a highly socially charged study on Islamism. He writes a column on modern technologies for the British publication The Telegraph. How did the Darknet begin? Who needs anonymity on the Internet? Who hides in the digital underground: hackers, criminals, trolls? What can you buy with bitcoins? Bartlett's book combines the story of an experienced user with the discovery-filled narrative of a newbie. Instead of assessing the pros and cons of the World Wide Web, the author impartially outlines its boundaries. The result is an easy-to-understand and fascinating study of how freedom and modern technology coexist. WASHINGTON POST .
