Overview

The phenomenon of the darknet has aroused fascination and concern and is still badly misunderstood.

"Hidden Internet",

"deep web",

"darknets"... these terms actually indicate very different realities to those they are often confused with. From the birth of hacking and the development of illegal file sharing, up until the creation of true parallel networks that are made up of Tor, I2P or Freenet, darknets have been a computer phenomenon. Now, it is perhaps becoming a social phenomenon. Since Facebook and Twitter have already entered Tor, cryptoanarchists, activists and whistleblowers rub shoulders with hackers and online drug dealers on hidden networks that are slowly becoming accessible to the general public. This book traces the history of the creation and development of these parallel networks (to which we refer under the loose term

"darknet") and analyzes their geopolitical, economic and sociocultural implications in terms of cybersecurity, the preservation of individual freedoms and the global governance of the Internet. Book jacket.
