Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Dependence on computers has had a transformative effect on human society. Cybernetics is now woven into the core functions of virtually every basic institution, including our oldest ones. War is one such institution, and the digital revolution's impact on it has been profound. The American military, which has no peer, is almost completely reliant on high-tech computer systems. Given the Internet's potential for full-spectrum surveillance and information disruption, the marshaling of computer networks represents the next stage of cyberwar. Indeed, it is upon us already. The recent Stuxnet episode, in which Israel fed a malignant computer virus into Iran's nuclear facilities, is one such example. Penetration into US government computer systems by Chinese hackers - presumably sponsored by the Chinese government - is another. Together, they point to a new era in the evolution of human conflict. In Cybersecurity and Cyberwar: What Everyone Needs to Know, noted experts Peter W. Singer and Allan Friedman lay out how the revolution in military cybernetics occurred and explain where it is headed. They begin with an explanation of what cyberspace is before moving on to discussions of how it can be exploited and why it is so hard to defend. Throughout, they discuss the latest developments in military and security technology. Singer and Friedman close with a discussion of how people and governments can protect themselves. In sum, Cybersecurity and Cyberwar is the definitive account on the subject for the educated layman who wants to know more about the nature of war, conflict, and security in the twenty first century.…

Softcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Some have claimed that "War is too important to be left to the generals," but P. W. Singer questions, "What about the business executives?" Moving beyond traditional mercenaries, corporations now offer skills and services once reserved for state militaries. Their offerings include trained commando teams and strategic advice from generals. This emerging "Privatized Military Industry" comprises hundreds of companies, thousands of employees, and billions in revenue. These firms have engaged in conflicts across Africa, Asia, the Balkans, and Latin America, increasingly becoming integral to U.S. military operations. Private corporations, driven by profit, now influence the trajectory of national and international conflicts, yet the implications remain largely unexamined. Singer provides a comprehensive account of the military services industry, detailing its operations and the various types of military providers, including tactical troops, military consultants, and support companies that offer logistics, intelligence, and engineering. While the privatization of warfare introduces new capabilities and efficiencies, it also raises significant concerns regarding democracy, ethics, management, human rights, and national security.…
