Ep. 1: The Birth of The Dark Web

By: Geoff White, Bernard P. Achampong

Narrated by: Geoff White

[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?

good but not my cup of tea

it's was an interesting episode but it isn't something I'd be interested in. if you are interested in conspiracy theory ideas, then this is perfect..

Summative crash course

its a wonderful introduction on the basics of the dark web and the moral conundrum it evokes. The author and story teller gives you a deep dive on the complexities of the issues sorrounding the topic.

Well done

Enjoyed this 10-part series more than I thought I would. Revealing view into the secrets of the dark web from end to end.

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.

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.
