Story
Just like you, I am not immune to Big Business Technologies. There are sophisticated, algorithmic means of why you and I are addicted. The problem is not in the degrading of us into political factions, or how we seem to waste more and more of our time online. They are problems, sure, but they are symptoms from the deeper disease. This book puts the illness out in the limelight, exposes what the Big Business Technologies won’t show you, and helps us arrive at practical solutions to make our lives and nations better.

Story
An international conspiracy among powerful bankers, business leaders, and government officials; closed-door meetings in the Swiss Alps; and calls for a radical transformation of every society on earth - the Great Reset sounds like it is one henchman-with-an-eyepatch away from being the plot for the next James Bond movie. But The Great Reset is not a work of fiction. It is a highly influential movement among the world’s elite to “reset” the global economy using banks, government programs, and environmental, social, and governance metrics.

How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn't true? While tackling these questions, Malcolm Gladwell was not solely writing a book for the page. He was also producing for the ear. In the audiobook version of Talking to Strangers, you’ll hear the voices of people he interviewed - scientists, criminologists, military psychologists.

In his landmark best seller The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. Now, in Blink, he revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant, in the blink of an eye, that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept?

The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a small but precisely targeted push cause a fashion trend, the popularity of a new product, or a drop in the crime rate. This widely acclaimed bestseller, in which Malcolm Gladwell explores and brilliantly illuminates the tipping point phenomenon, is already changing the way people throughout the world think about selling products and disseminating ideas.

Story
Levitt and co-author Stephen J. Dubner show that economics is, at root, the study of incentives: how people get what they want, or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing. In Freakonomics, they explore the hidden side of...well, everything. The inner working of a crack gang...the truth about real-estate agents...the secrets of the Klu Klux Klan. What unites all these stories is a belief that the modern world is even more intriguing than we think. All it takes is a new way of looking, and Freakonomics will redefine the way we view the modern world.

You’ve seen it all before. A malicious online rumor costs a company millions. A political sideshow derails the national news cycle and destroys a candidate. Some product or celebrity zooms from total obscurity to viral sensation. What you don’t know is that someone is responsible for all this. Usually, someone like me. I’m a media manipulator. In a world where blogs control and distort the news, my job is to control blogs - as much as any one person can.

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.

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!

Wow! Yikes!
This is a somewhat of repeat of a review I posted on the last in the series with a bit of some changes.
Not sure what the "1-star trolls" have in issue with this but maybe they're "dark-webbers" not liking the new light being brought on all the nefarious activities going on through this medium. The series is absorbing, intriguing, it holds your attention, very well done that way.
There is a growing cancer on the internet that needs some serious, very bright minds to find a cure. It would have been quite helpful for the authors, and the series if the FBI, CIA, NSA type organizations had granted interviews, however there's a wealth of information here just the same.
How to stop this? I just read an article that North Korean hackers stole 68+ million out of an Indian bank, along with multiple other similar horrors. However this could be stopped, and that's not fully worked out yet; creating a series like this to heighten public awareness is an important step. So thank you to the authors!

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.
