Summary
Jamie Bartlett: Dark net
The book Darknet takes us deep into the digital underground and provides an extraordinary insight into the Internet as we do not know it. Jamie Bartlett goes 'from one side' of the screen, pulling hackers, drug dealers, trolls, cam-girls and political extremists out of the digital darkness, giving a human face to those who have a good reason to remain anonymous. Darknet is a sobering and information-rich exploration of the Internet and its secret corners - from the world of popular and ubiquitous social networks and secret Facebook groups to the encrypted parts of the Tor network and the most remote parts of the Deep Web... It is a world that is often mentioned in media articles, lives with us, but is still insufficiently known. A world that is unexplored, but also closer than we think. A world of bitcoin and Silk Road, terrorists and hardcore pornography. That is - the darknet. Jamie Bartlett is a journalist, tech blogger and director of the Center for Social Media Analysis at the Demos organization. He publishes his articles in the Telegraph, Guardian, Sunday Times and many other newspapers and blogs. He writes about online extremism, the darknet, cryptocurrencies, freedom of speech, the use of social media for political purposes, Internet surveillance technologies, artificial intelligence... He lives in London.
