"This pathbreaking book offers an original, unifying perspective for viewing seemingly unrelated empirical social phenomena--online drug trade, internet censorship circumvention, and the digital far right--by providing new insights into the tension and struggle between two opposing forces of society: individual rights and liberty on the one hand, and state control and surveillance on the other."--Tim Liao, Professor of Sociology and LAS Alumni Distinguished Professorial Scholar, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
"As technology continues to advance, books on cybercrime often become outdated even before they hit the shelves. Isak Ladegaard's framework of 'open secrecy' transcends these transformations to unite various covert phenomena, drawing on a treasure trove of data that could take an entire team of computer and social scientists to compile."--Marie Ouellet, Assistant Professor of Criminology, Simon Fraser University
