Description
New technologies are changing how we protect our citizens and wage our wars. Vulnerability to "weapons of mass disruption" - cutting-edge computer worms, viruses, and invasive robot networks - is undermining traditional military capabilities. At home, billions of household appliances and other "smart" items risk being taken over by malicious forces. In this new book, John Arquilla examines the challenges posed by cyberwarfare, arguing that they have been neither met nor mastered. He offers fresh solutions for protecting against enemies that are often anonymous, unpredictable, and capable of projecting force and influence vastly disproportionate to their size or wealth. The changes called for require radical rethinking of military and security affairs, diplomacy, and even our daily routines. This book provides a clear and unflinching look at the challenges posed by cyberwarfare and potential ways forward.
