Book Discussion: The Perfect Weapon: War, Sabotage, and Fear in the Cyber Age

Описание: For seventy years, the thinking inside the Pentagon was that only nations with nuclear weapons could threaten America’s existence. But that assumption is now in doubt: in a world in which almost everything is interconnected—phones, cars, electrical grids, and satellites—everything can be disrupted, if not destroyed. In THE PERFECT WEAPON, New York Times national security correspondent and bestselling author David Sanger vividly details how this new revolution, being conducted largely in secret, is reshaping global power.

Focusing largely on the “Seven Sisters” of cyber conflict—the United States, Russia, China, Britain, Iran, Israel, and North Korea—THE PERFECT WEAPON is the dramatic story of how cyber conflict has expanded since the revelation of the American/Israeli attacks on Iran’s nuclear program. Sanger exposed the story of Washington’s role in those attacks six years ago, in his book CONFRONT AND CONCEAL. Now he explores how great and small powers alike have moved into a new era of constant sabotage, misinformation, and fear, in which everyone is a target.
