Cyberwar 2.0: Myths, Mysteries & Reality
Dublin Core
Title
Description
Main Argument: This collection of articles revolves around the theme of a new realm of information. As this is the “information age,” reasons for engaging in war will change. This book argues that the war may be non-violent. Meaning, war will not engage in violence to seek land, but will engage in non-violent means in search for knowledge. New technologies (e.g. the Internet) undoubtedly will affect the nature of war; its reasoning, goals and actions.
Style: Academic
Sourcing: Scholarly articles
Structure: 5 themed sections, each with 4-7 articles
Context in discussion: Government, military and security officials see theft of information as a cyber threat, but are more concerned about future damage of critical infrastructure. However, if another country gains access to military operations, the United States may have difficulty engaging in a successful offense/defense plan. This book focuses solely on how information itself may change the nature of war.
Context in website: This book presents a different view of cyber attacks. In order to read or hear from others thinking about cyber attacks and security in unique ways, Jeff Moss' speech provides a hacking perspective and tells that hackers thirst for knowledge. Together, these two documents offer a strong argument for the influence information has on the world.
