It’s an arresting concept: the idea that rippling beneath the internet there is a dark twin breathing and growing. A place where drugs are sold; where hitmen advertise their services; where material to match any sexual urge can be found.
The Darkest Web is an exploration of this underworld known as the dark web, and Australian author Eileen Ormsby is your tour guide.
This is the second book from Ormsby, whose first, Silk Road, was an in-depth exploration of the dark web marketplace, based both on research and Ormsby’s personal experiences as part of the community. This new book takes a wider view of what else, aside from the sale of drugs, goes on down there.
