Publisher's summary

Do you want private downloads? Private discussion? Freedom from censorship? Then come to Usenet. Ditch unsafe torrents, cloud services, and do so anonymously. Because you want what you want. Just look at these benefits:

  • Usenet is only limited to how fast your connection is. A 10mb cable connection will be on average 1,221kbps (1.2MB/s)
  • Extremely easy to use
  • Encrypted downloads mean nobody can see what you are downloading.
  • Usenet is not p2p; you are downloading files from multiple high speed servers.
  • When downloading files you are just downloading; there is no uploading so no wasted bandwidth.
  • You can download files that are as old as your Usenet retention allows (at the moment the average is over 1000 days) just as fast as brand new files.
  • No awful warning letters. Ever.

What are you waiting for? Get the best of the best secret ever kept.

Good historical overview with nihilistic humor.

This book gives several through back scenarios of where Usenet has come from and who used it then 90's. Lance shows us a glimpse of the dystopia of Orwellian 1984 is just starting to kick off because of the lack of anonymity. Free speech isn't free if you have to use a VPN, Tails, Tor. The cloud is evil, can I get an AMEN!
