Evgeny Morozov’s new book (To Save Everything, Click Here) came out recently. You can no longer order it at Behemot and we won’t have it until it’s either remaindered or we get it second hand.
But, you can read it in the meantime – let me know what you think. And you can read this blog post by Nicholas Carr. The humorous debate that ensued mostly features a small safe, a set of screwdrivers and an interesting exercise in self-discipline.
Is that really “the genie of literature”? Or is it something else?
“DarkMarket” is not perfect. Mr. Glenny coyly refuses to opine on the ethical dilemmas of having the FBI administer a forum that helped defraud thousands of innocent people. Nor does he fully consider what the demise of DarkMarket.ws means for cybercrime in general: Will a powerful successor emerge (as has happened in the past) or will cyber criminals switch to other, less public, forms of communication?
Despite these shortcomings, “DarkMarket” offers an eminently readable, witty narrative that sustains suspense until the very last pages.
