In the following chapters, we'll discuss the technical side of accessing the Dark Web.

When I start using any technology, I try to think what it will look like in the future. How it will be used, how it will develop, and who will be using it.

In this chapter, we'll try to address these questions, talking less about the buzz you hear about, such as illegal activity, but rather focusing on the future of the positive and practical aspects, such as online markets, and, more importantly, privacy. For the future of the Dark Web is intrinsically entwined with the future of privacy for all of us.

So let's go...back to the future!

We will cover the following topics in this chapter:

• What does the future of the Deep Web hold for us
• Dark Web markets
• The TOR Project
• Public interest in the Dark Web
