Cyber War Will Not Take Place
Read or listen offline
Recommendation
Thomas Rid’s book is rich in analysis and detail. He draws on a range of thinkers, including Thomas Hobbes and Prussian military philosopher, Carl von Clausewitz, to illustrate his thesis that “cyberwar” distracts attention from how nations should debate and address cyberattacks. He delves into the implications of how Internet-based capabilities affect violence, sabotage and espionage. Rid’s book is compelling, though at times the wealth of detail distracts the reader from his central argument. getAbstract recommends Rid’s insights to policy makers in the public and private sectors and to those interested in the security challenges wrought by the Internet.
