Publisher's Summary

[Contains explicit content] It's called the Dark Web, Dark Net or Deep Web but what is it? What makes this internet underground — rife with drugs, sex, and crime — possible? How do you even access the Dark Web? 

Geoff White, Channel 4 News's former Technology Reporter, has been looking into its shady origins and reveals why the U.S. Navy invented it in the first place.

The Dark Web

They started the series pretty well and it would make sense to those who haven't even heard of the dark web before.

Great start to a interesting subject

This first episode was very interesting. I often wondered how the Dark Web started, who would have thought it was by the US Government... oh ya not hard to believe, but I did not know that. Looking forward to listening to other episodes.

I didnt understand…

I thought this would be really interesting.
But it started getting deeper & deeper. It totally lost me by 3rd chapter.

Horrid audio

The audio is so bad at some points I can’t hear a thing they are saying for 1-3 minuets. Also don’t like that they refer to hackers as “the bad guys” and base the moral of the book on if you are indeed a “bad” or “good” person.
