- Summary:
- Our entire modern way of life, from communication to commerce to conflict, fundamentally depends on the Internet, and the resultant cybersecurity issues challenge literally everyone. We face new questions about everything from our rights and responsibilities as citizens of both the virtual and real worlds to how to protect ourselves and our families from new type of danger. Yet there is perhaps no issue so important that remains so poorly understood. In Cybersecurity and Cyberwar: What Everyone Needs to Know®, best-selling author P. W. Singer and noted cyber expert Allan Friedman provide the kind of easy-to-read yet deeply informative resource book that has been missing on this crucial issue of 21st century life. Written in a lively, accessible style and filled with engaging stories, the book is structured around the driving question of cybersecurity: how it all works, why it all matters, and what can we do. Along the way, the authors take readers on a tour of the central issues and characters of cybersecurity, from the "Anonymous" hacker group and the Stuxnet computer virus to the new cyber units of the Chinese and US militaries. Cybersecurity and Cyberwar is the definitive account on the subject for us all, and it comes not a moment too soon. Book jacket.
