Summary

Dark Web Communities explores the hidden world of online platforms beyond the reach of standard search engines. It examines the formation, communication methods, and real-world impact of these clandestine groups, often associated with online crime and fringe social networks. Understanding these digital spaces is crucial, since online activities increasingly influence offline events. The book uniquely focuses on the sociological, technological, and criminological aspects of dark web communities, tracing their evolution from early cypherpunk movements to modern-day anonymous systems. One intriguing aspect is the fact that these communities, while linked to illicit activities, are driven by diverse motivations, including political activism and privacy advocacy.

 
The book begins by defining the dark web and its technological underpinnings, such as Tor and blockchain. It progresses by analyzing different types of dark web communities, including criminal forums, fringe social networks, and platforms for political activism. The analysis is based on direct observation, leaked data, and expert interviews, providing a comprehensive perspective. This approach helps in understanding the human element driving these networks, offering a nuanced portrayal of their complexities, rather than sensationalizing criminal activities.

    What happens when reason is swallowed by absurdity? 
In The Crocodile, Fyodor Dostoevsky blends satire and social critique in one of his most unusual and humorous works. The story follows Ivan Matveich, a government official who, while visiting an exhibition, is suddenly swallowed whole by a crocodile. Strangely, he remains alive inside the creature and refuses to be rescued—believing that his predicament offers him a unique intellectual and philosophical advantage. 
His colleagues, the press, and society react with indifference, treating his bizarre situation as a trivial curiosity rather than a matter of urgency. As Ivan embraces his new existence, the novella cleverly mocks bureaucratic incompetence, self-important intellectuals, and the absurdity of human nature. 
What You’ll Discover in This Modern Translation:A Brilliant Satirical Comedy – Experience Dostoevsky’s biting humor and wit in a tale that remains as relevant today as in the 19th century.A Thought-Provoking Exploration of Human Ego – Witness the ridiculous ways in which people justify their own misfortunes and delusions.A Masterpiece in a Fresh, Readable Style – This modern adaptation preserves the depth and humor of Dostoevsky’s prose while making it more accessible for today’s readers.A Unique Tale of Bureaucratic Madness – Dive into a world where logic is twisted, and society’s reaction to the absurd is more absurd than the event itself. 
More than just a comedy, The Crocodile is a sharp critique of human folly, intellectual arrogance, and the absurdities of bureaucracy and ideology. 
Is Ivan Matveich a tragic figure, a genius, or simply ridiculous?

    The African Emperor - The Life...

    Septimius Severus was Rome's black emperor. Born in the blistering heat of a North African spring in Leptis Magna AD 145, he died in the freezing cold of a northern British winter in York in AD 211. A giant of an emperor, whose career can be counted in superlatives, Severus was in power at the height of Rome's might. He led the largest army to ever campaign in Britain, comprising 50,000 men, part of a Roman military establishment which peaked at 33 legions under his rule.



Born into the richest family, in the richest part of the Roman Empire, Severus monumentalised his rule across the empire. He visited - and often fought in - every region. Where he did, he left a mighty legacy in the built environment, for example in Rome where much of the Forum Romanum and most of the imperial palaces are Severan. In North Africa, his hometown of Leptis Magna is all Severan, as are the Roman cities at the Atlas mountains. In London, the land walls that still define the City's Square Mile were delineated under his rule. Visitors to the under croft at York Minster can stand where he died.


Septimius Severus was one of the greatest warrior emperors, a hard man who almost died in battle several times and whose attitude is reflected in his deathbed advice to two sons: 'Be of one mind with your family, enrich the soldiers, and despise the rest.'
