Bleeding Edge is on Amazon

[Prashant Kumar]

Deep web is an interesting one. In modern usage it means websites not
indexed by google - most of the Internet. In 2005 (don't have 2001 or
current data in memory) the "web" was about 1 petabyte; the deep web maybe
two orders of magnitude larger. In 2001 it was 7.5 petabytes.

In modern times it has become notorious for supposedly playing host to
everything from child pornography to seizure inducing websites laced with
kitten pictures, but the connotations such lends are of recent vintage as
far as I'm aware. "Deep web" itself was coined in a 2001 study.

A place for hiding things, and for losing things; a variegated warren.
A W.A.S.T.E. wrought from electrons? Anyway, I'm excited. The blurb for AtD
sucked just as much as this one does.
