Story4.5 out of 5 stars 125
A riveting, original and comprehensive account of international crime and a brilliant critique of globalisation's dark side. When an appalling and seemingly inexplicable murder shattered the peace of a quiet English suburban street it revealed the extent to which organised crime has now seeped into our lives, often without our knowledge. In his groundbreaking book Misha Glenny takes us on a journey through the new world of international organised crime, from gun runners in Ukraine to money launderers in Dubai, by way of drug syndicates in Canada and cyber criminals in Brazil.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 49
His name was Antonio, but they would call him Nem. From the infamous favela of Rocinha in Rio, he was a hardworking young father forced to make a decision that would turn his world upside down. Nemesis is the story of an ordinary man who became the king of the largest slum in Rio, the head of a drug cartel and perhaps Brazil’s most wanted criminal. A man who tried to bring welfare and justice to a playground of gang culture and destitution while everyone around him drew guns and partied.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 145
They are everywhere, the thieves and their people. Masters of secrecy. Until now we have detected their presence only by what they leave behind. A body in a burned-out Audi. Workers riddled with bullets in the Kazakh desert. A rigged election in Zimbabwe. A British banker silenced and humiliated for trying to expose the truth about the City of London. They have amassed more money than most countries. But what they are really stealing is power.

Zero day: a software bug that allows a hacker to break in and scamper through the world’s computer networks invisibly until discovered. One of the most coveted tools in a spy's arsenal, a zero day has the power to tap into any iPhone, dismantle safety controls at a chemical plant and shut down the power in an entire nation - just ask the Ukraine. Zero days are the blood diamonds of the security trade, pursued by nation states, defence contractors, cybercriminals and security defenders alike. In this market, governments aren’t regulators; they are clients.

Summary
The benefits of living in a digital, globalised society are enormous; so too are the dangers. The world has become a law enforcer’s nightmare and every criminal’s dream. We bank online, shop online, date, learn, work and live online. But have the institutions that keep us safe on the streets learned to protect us in the burgeoning digital world? Have we become complacent about our personal security – sharing our thoughts, beliefs and the details of our daily lives with anyone who cares to relieve us of them?
In this fascinating and compelling book, Misha Glenny, author of the international best seller McMafia, explores the three fundamental threats facing us in the 21st century: cyber crime, cyber warfare and cyber industrial espionage. Governments and the private sector are losing billions of dollars each year, fighting an ever-morphing, often invisible, often super-smart new breed of criminal: the hacker.
Glenny has travelled and trawled the world. And by exploring the rise and fall of the criminal website, DarkMarket, he has uncovered the most vivid, alarming and illuminating stories. Whether JiLsi or Matrix, Iceman, Master Splynter or Lord Cyric; whether Detective Sergeant Chris Dawson in Scunthorpe or Agent Keith Mularski in Pittsburgh, Glenny has tracked down and interviewed all the players – the criminals, the geeks, the police, the security experts and the victims – and he places everyone and everything in a rich brew of politics, economics and history. The result is simply unputdownable.
DarkMarket is authoritative and completely engrossing. It’s a must-read for everyone who uses a computer: the essential crime book for our times.

Don't be put off by the technical subject matter
I nearly didn't buy this book because it sounded very technical and dull, but Misha Glenny explains all of the technicalities from a lamens perspective giving the reader enough background so that you can understand how the complex systems worked. It will certainly make you think twice when next choosing passwords for logins to websites and pin numbers for your credit cards. Misha's other book on Audible McMafia is excellent as well. Highly recommended.

A quarter through and loving it
Would you listen to DarkMarket again? Why?
Yes, there are very useful points in this audiobook that I have already gone back to and re-played.
What was one of the most memorable moments of DarkMarket?
So far - when the Met are advised that a homicide officer in Scunthorpe has found detained Freddy Brown!
Which scene did you most enjoy?
So far - the events that take place at Grimley Smith are classic!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, i'm listening to this book more for professional reasons than for person.
Any additional comments?
I find the book to be well narrated notwithstanding that it's being narrated by the author which is very special.

A rollicking account of a giant conspiracy
Glenny is a fine writer and he has a fascinating story to tell about a group of teenagers and geeks who almost accidentally unleashed a global crimewave.
I admit to being disappointed that this is not quite the book I thought it was - the subtitle makes it sound as though it contains a wider discussion of cyber-crime and its importance in the world today whereas this limits itself to a specific aspect of a specific crime. That isn't a criticism of the book - only the subtitle.
I would warn that, if imperfectly rendered accents bother you, you might want to read the book. The Author is not a professional narrator and his renderings of some of his character's voices can grate.

Good(ish)
So ... Misha Glenny is a brilliant journalist and his performance in this is first rate ... two issues ... it’s now rather out of date (2011) ... as a cyberhistory piece it’s great ... but 2011 is a couple of centuries on the Internet
And ... it’s quite detailed and focusses on the historic detail of the rise of certain cyber crime rings
Some of that is interesting and still of interest - but some just feels like a list of Russian names.
I gave up caring 2/3 of the way through ... it’s kind of academic ...
BUT if you’re interested in this type of thing his research and writing is excellent and his performance as good as it could be ... with spot on intonation and drama ... I just got a bit bored by the story

Insightful, well-written, and captivating
As a bit of a nerd who is involved in security matters, I was initially skeptical about buying this book. I'm really glad I did as it is extremely well researched, and the story is very captivating. The book also covers cross-continental politics and policing, and will make you think twice before ever handing over your credit card to anyone. The reading is also really great. Really glad I read this.
