Brave New War de John Robb

Brave New War

John Robb

"For my money, John Robb, a former Air Force officer and tech guru, is the futurists′ futurist." — Slate The counterterrorism expert John Robb reveals how the same technology that has enabled globalization also allows terrorists and criminals to join forces against larger adversaries with relative ease and to carry out small, inexpensive actions—like sabotaging an oil pipeline—that generate a huge return. He shows how combating the shutdown of the world’s oil, high–tech, and financial markets could cost us the thing we’ve come to value the most—worldwide economic and cultural integration—and what we must do now to safeguard against this new method of warfare.

Descriere

"For my money, John Robb, a former Air Force officer and tech guru, is the futurists′ futurist." — Slate War in the twenty–first century will be very different from what we′ve come to expect. Terrorism and guerrilla warfare are rapidly evolving to allow nonstate networks to challenge the structure and order of nation–states. It is a change on par with the rise of the Internet and China, and will dramatically change how you and your kids will view security. In Brave New War , the counterterrorism expert John Robb reveals how the same technology that has enabled globalization also allows terrorists and criminals to join forces against larger adversaries with relative ease and to carry out small, inexpensive actions—like sabotaging an oil pipeline—that will generate a huge return. He shows how taking steps to combat the shutdown of the world′s oil, high–tech, and financial markets could cost us the thing we′ve come to value the most—worldwide economic and cultural integration—and the crucial steps we must take now to safeguard our systems and ourselves against this new method of warfare.
