The Dark Net: Inside the Digital Underworld - Hardcover
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 andputs 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."

Review:
"Reveals a hidden, seedy world where people lurk behind pseudonyms and dupe others into revealing their bodies on camera to be used against them in public shaming. If you're shocked to discover that last year approximately 20 per cent of drug users bought their stash online, you'll find this fascinating. Bartlett is an able guide on a journey through the margins of the web."
--Max Wallis, "Independent, Books of the Year"
" "
"A judgement-free look at the mechanics of trolling and other internet bad behaviour and generates more light than heat."
--Helen Lewis, "New Statesman, Books of the Year"
"A hell of an achievement . . . Buy it and read it."
--Hugo Rifkind, "The Times" (London)
"Bartlett anatomises the usual bogeymen and demonstrates that they're real. "The Dark Net" is, for anyone engaged with the web and the effects it is having on our culture, necessary reading . . . a flashlight in a dark, dark cellar."
--Michael Bywater, "Spectator"
"A fascinating and disturbing exploration of the outer edges of the internet and the human mind."
--Josh Cohen
"A fascinating and disturbing journey through the furthest recesses of the Internet. Jamie Bartlett is an expert guide . . . he shines an invaluable light on a world that remains determinedly opaque."
--Ian Burrell, "Independent"
"[A] thorough and assiduously researched account of the deviantly erotic, subversive and criminal aspects of web life."
--Bryan Appleyard, "Sunday Times"
"A confident and well-informed guide . . . By meeting the people behind the online activity, Bartlett humanises it."
--Douglas Heaven, "New Scientist"
""The Dark Net" offers smart, provoking reportage from the crooked crannies of digital culture, married to a quietly impressive analysis of how technology is amplifying both the best and the worst of us. Required reading for anyone looking to escape media hysteria and get to grips with the 21st century's most compelling, discomforting complexities."
--Tom Chatfield
"A well-researched book, studded with enlightening interviews."
--"Mail on Sunday"
A provocative excursion to the darker side of human nature set free by the anonymous and unregulated boundaries of cyberspace."
