Don't be fooled by this book's title. It is not for the hackers
out there, but for average users.
The first chapter shows you more about search engines, some of them
never seen before (maybe it's me only). It also teaches you how to
use the search engine to find more accurate results. More or less
we have learnt it. And there's also some specialized search
engines. One example is AvatarSearch, where you can find occult
information. Only thing is that this site has been closed. No more
witchcraft for those of you who wants to try funny things. Another
interesting one would be Black Web Portal. As the name suggests, it
lets you search more about the Blacks. 
The second to fifth chapters talks about news. From daily news to
weird news, you have them. In between these chapters, they talk
about activists, how they use news to tell the world more about
them. One of the ways is by sending out harmless computer viruses.
There is also the censorship topic. They teach you how to bypass
them, what are the advantages and disadvantages.
The sixth to the thirteen chapters talks about threats on the Net
and how to protect yourself. The same old warning again, but this
time in more details. Each threat is grouped into the different
chapters, starting with the hackers. The hacker chapter is worth
reading, as it offers you an insight on what they do. This chapter
doesn't teach you to be a hacker though, so don't think too
far.
For Chapter fourteen, it gives you tips on how to save when buying
a computer. You will also learn how to recycle them to protect the
environment. They also recommend you some freewares as well as some
trial softwares that you can download off the web.
From Chapter fifteen to twenty, it gives more instructions on
protecting yourself, as well as softwares to use. How to use these
softwares correctly as well as tweaking it so that it suits you are
taught in these chapters. Chapter nineteen can be very difficult
for average users, as it covers computer forensics and some weird
codes that users don't see. You can miss that, but it is
interesting. It also gives you an insight on how the different
security policies work, how are they defeated and how you can guard
against them.
The appendixes at the end of the book more or less summarize
everything about IT that you have to know about.
