A biography of Tor—a cultural and technological history of power, privacy, and global politics at the internet's core. Tor, one of the most important and misunderstood technologies of the digital age, is best known as the infrastructure underpinning the so-called Dark Web. But the real “dark web,” when it comes to Tor, is the hidden history brought to light in this book: where this complex and contested infrastructure came from, why it exists, and how it connects with global power in intricate and intimate ways. In Tor: From the Dark Web to the Future of Privacy, Ben Collier has written, in essence, a biography of Tor—a cultural and technological history of power, privacy, politics, and empire in the deepest reaches of the internet. Tor—still known to most as the Dark Web or Dark Net—is not an easy subject to research. It exists on a bizarre terrain, simultaneously in the living rooms of lovely nerds, in the nightmares of police officers, in the small spaces of everyday digital life, and in the corridors of global power. It is a thin and brittle network stretched across the globe like a glass spiderweb and at the same time a profound challenge to the most powerful spy agencies in the world. Most users access Tor in the form of a rather innocuous web browser—much like Chrome, Safari, or Firefox—that rapidly clicks and whirrs through a pleasing set of additional messages before it starts up, giving it a slightly hacker-film feel. Once this is finished and the connection to the Tor network is confirmed, the user can simply browse the internet as normal.
