a must read for all.

also be prepared to take notes and open your mind to New ideas. is worth investing in the paper copy as well.

A good overview

This was a good starting point for someone that has little knowledge of the subject and wants to expand their understanding.

Excellent!

Excellent presentation and elucidation of a topic which all users of the Internet need to be aware of and understand for their safety on-line. A complex subject clearly outlined.

For Internet Security Novices, Mostly

Mostly for Internet security novices but I found the review useful. A lot of the book is about the difference between anonymity and privacy.

Good intro

Opens the door for additional research and learning. Does explain well the difference between privacy and anonymity.

Great info but I need to listen a few more times

I love the simplified approach. The author claims that if you can install software you can understand. However, people install software(viruses) unknowingly. I think it requires a bit more knowledge than why the author says you need. Overall it's a great short listen and chock full of useful tips and strategies.

wow

Truly a must have....opened up a lot of hidden things for me. A very good audio book. informs of things that one can use to try and remain private.

Good information, even for techies.

Where does Darknet rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I enjoyed this book. I am certainly a techie but not necessarily focused on security and anonymity. This book brought together a lot of good information that I was "somewhat" aware of but didn't quite understand.

What did you like best about this story?

The book was informative but concise and not full of meaningless fluff.

What about John T. Parker’s performance did you like?

I thought the narration was quite good. Clear and evenly paced. The narrator had no annoying or distracting mannerisms.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from Darknet?

There are a lot of important precautions one can take to employ both privacy and a high degree of anonymity.

Any additional comments?

I would recommend this for anyone interested in learning the basics of privacy and anonymity.

Narrator is awesome.

Good intro speech and methods. Leaves me wondering how in depth it wil get each chapter.

Information, wise, pretty good.

Not terribly technical, if at all.

But as far as the information needed to shift your mindset when entering the darknet, spot on.

Interesting enough and informative enough to build a good start to a good foundation to build on.
