Electus Ties Up with Dark Net Author Jamie Bartlett

Electus has inked an exclusive development deal with author, investigative journalist and social media/cyber culture expert Jamie Bartlett (The Dark Net) for a number of projects.

Bartlett’s work focuses on the ways in which today’s communications and social media are influencing politics, social justice movements, online privacy, cyber security and intelligence operations. He has gained access to Silicon Valley secrets; internet subcultures, the dark net and crypto-currencies; surveillance and hacking technologies; social media monitoring; and more. He is also the director of The Centre for the Analysis of Social Media.

“There are few topics more important and timely than the ones Jamie Bartlett has dedicated his life to,” said Electus CEO Chris Grant. “He is unique in his knowledge and his access to hidden worlds is second to none. Jamie and this show have a certain potential that one does not see very often, and Electus is thrilled to be his partner.”

Bartlett added: “The world is changing fast, in ways people still don’t fully understand, with outsiders, radicals and criminals affecting and transforming our lives. It takes vision, expertise and guts to tell these stories and I am eager to work with Electus to do this diligently, intelligently and to help wake up our communities to what is happening.”
