LIKE WAR

P. W. Singer & Emerson T. Brooking

 

Subtitle: The Weaponization of Social Media, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, N.Y. 2018, index. endnotes

 
 

Reviewer comments: The authors have conducted extensive research including interviewing many significant experts. The theme is that a huge, unlimited, amount of information about individuals, events, organizations, virtually everything; is now contained in the trillions of entries in the Internet. And it is all interconnected and available for anyone who knows how to use the right tools, The result was initially that individuals were able to find, collect, and analyze this massive stream of information to reveal government and private organizations' malfeasance and attack governments creating revolutions. But governments learned about this and are employing their own massive resources to block the creation and spread of information they don't like. Hence the 'war' between exposure and concealment of information.
Everyone is now exposed and is a participant in this war, whether they like it or not.
