Why a Booktrail?
2000s: If you know what you’re doing, you can find anything on the internet.
This is Gomorrah
What you need to know before your trail
Elite hacker Azi Bello lives his life in the technological underbelly of the 21st century. A loner, charmer, and lover of grey areas, he works for himself and answers to no one – until his online existence crashes violently into the real world.
The secretive but intriguing Munira has reached out to Azi for help, and her story has sparked his interest: Munira’s cousin has been recruited by terrorists and, in her attempts to find out more, she has attracted the attention of some very dangerous people.
Now forced to go on the run, Azi and Munira are drawn into a conspiracy, at the heart of which is Gomorrah: an exclusive online marketplace where anything can be acquired, and where the world’s worst individuals lurk. As he throws himself into uncovering Gomorrah’s dark secrets, it isn’t long before Azi realises that the stakes are high and the risks even higher when you’re no longer behind a screen.
Travel Guide
Travel around the dark net with Gomorrah
The locations in this book are secondary to the landscape of the dark net which is everywhere. The dark net catches yo and takes you places but never lets you go. It follows you around and you can never escape it.
The book follows people from England to Germany and then Athens with a bit of California thrown in. The locations are meeting places, escape routes, hiding places. Fleeting visits but secondary to the greater web.
“Control the Internet, Control the World”
“If you know what you’re doing, you can find anything on the internet. Drugs, guns, porn, ideologies, elections, even lives and deaths are all up for sale . . . and everything must go.”
