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.

Story
In 2022, Lisa Marie Presley asked her daughter to help finally finish her long-gestating memoir. A month later, Lisa Marie was dead, and the world would never know her story in her own words, never know the passionate, joyful, caring, and complicated woman that Riley loved and now grieved. Riley got the tapes that her mother had recorded for the book, lay in her bed, and listened as Lisa Marie told story after story about smashing golf carts together in the yards of Graceland, about the unconditional love she felt from her father, about being upstairs, just the two of them.

Story
Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She’s seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot. Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet. Then the brutal murder of a young woman—the latest in a string of deaths across the coast—confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.

Story
The plane is jam-packed. Every seat is taken. So of course the flight is delayed! Flight attendant Allegra Patel likes her job—she’s generally happy with her life, even if she can’t figure out why she hooks up with a man she barely speaks to—but today is her twenty-eighth birthday. She can think of plenty of things she’d rather be doing than placating a bunch of grumpy passengers.

Geoff White and Bernard P. Achampong have done extensive research.
If you have heard of the Dark Web but need to know about it so that you have some understanding of exactly why it exists and who uses it, I recommend this book.
You will get much more than a brief description of the Dark Web. When you are finished with this, you will understand it’s origins, it’s purposes, who uses it, etc.
Very very good!

The Birth of the Dark Web
Interesting book on a subject I did not know anything about. The Dark Web does exist. We need to know about this subject so that we can present a halfway intelligent response when anyone ask us a question about the dark web. This book will help you.

enlightening
The narrations were clear and the origins of the dark web were actually quite surprising.

Series was not what I was expecting
I expected this to be more focused on how the dark web affects us all. It's a look into much more than that, though, providing an interesting history of how and why the dark web came into being and evolved. But it's focused on much broader criminal activities - illicit drug dealing, child pornography, etc., than on how most of us might be affected by having our data exposed on the dark web.
Utterly annoying is the format. Each segment is less than 30 minutes. Taking their cue from The History Channel, some of those minutes are used to review the last chapter, and some are used to preview the next. So, after a while, it becomes very repetitive.
Frankly, from my perspective, the last episode was the best one, and if you listen to that one, which is essentially a panel discussion, you'll learn all you really need to know about how the dark web functions today and how its impact is felt on regular users of the web.

Good Info, Poor Presentation
The content provided in the 10 episodes was very interesting. It gave a good overview of the many parts of the dark web and had some very informative interviews. The topics were all unique. It was a quick way to learn about the purpose and use of the dark web.
However, the presentation was difficult to listen to. The interviews sounded like they were in a cave and several episodes had dishes/silverware clinking in the background. It may have been the editors way of providing ambiance (interviews over the phone or in a cafe), but I found it distracting.

Great Material, yet a little Cheesy
I was impressed with the interviews and material being presented in this series of lectures on the Dark Web but it grossly misuses scary music and sound effects in the background to instill some cheap sense of fear or creepiness. Just give us the facts man, especially when they play sounds of children in the background, it made it scary but didn't lend any legitimacy to the material, which as far as I know was legitimate but I don't want cheap fear mongering, I want to learn.

Birth of anonymity
This episode is quite interesting in that it explains how the dark web works in that... you can become completely anonymous in a shadow internet where you can look at websites that you don't want anyone to know about or pull up information on people that you normally wouldn't have access to.
Very informative if not a little bit unsettling if you have never heard of this before.
