Behold a Pale Farce : Cyberwar, Threat Inflation, & the Malware Industrial Complex Paperback / softback
by Bill Blunden, Violet Cheung
Paperback / softback
Description
This book presents a data-driven message that exposes the cyberwar media campaign being directed by the Pentagon and its patronage networks.
By demonstrating that the American public is being coerced by a threat that has been blown out of proportion—much like the run-up to the Gulf War or the global war on terror—this book discusses how the notion of cyberwar instills a crisis mentality that discourages formal risk assessment, making the public anxious and hence susceptible to ill-conceived solutions.
With content that challenges conventional notions regarding cyber security, Behold a Pale Farce covers topics—including cybercrime; modern espionage; mass-surveillance systems; and the threats facing infrastructure targets such as the Federal Reserve, the stock exchange, and telecommunications—in a way that provides objective analysis rather than advocacy.
This book is a must-read for anyone concerned with the recent emergence of Orwellian tools of mass interception that have developed under the guise of national security.
