Some effects of cyberattacks may be more benign – or, at least, not as violent – as popular conceptions would suggest. The author analyze most best-known examples of cyber-assisted crime, sabotage, espionage and subversion. In one way, Rid succinctly lays out an argument I have been trying to make for years, yet he does it so much more clearly and well researched then I ever could have. Cyber subversion I didn't follow too closely.

Books we rate below 5 won’t be summarized.

He wrote an editorial for Slate where he made, in a nutshell, the same claims he makes at length in his book, and I made these same comments in response to that article.

The author doesn't underestimate the cyber threat - it's just not so obvious as you would think - the cyber war is unlikely, though.provocative scholarly work but ultimately underwhelming. Recommended. Whether you believe that the various cyber-related attacks on the West by foreign powers, such as Russia, DPRK and China are acts of 'warfare', or not (and Rid says no, because there is no actual violence, which is a defining characteristic of 'war' in the traditional sense), they are clearly acts of aggression and are going on all the time - the most famous of which was, of course, the (US) Stuxnet attack on the Iranian nuclear programme. Cyber War Will Not Take Place Cyber sabotage seems synonymous with destroying industrial control systems in his view.First published in 2013 and thus slightly dated, at least when it comes to the referred examples, Thomas Rid's book has stood the test of time and is an intelligent discussion on what cyber war really is and how little it has to do with war.

Very up to date (includes references from early 2013) and clean, crisp prose. The result is a compelling and authoritative take on war and strategy in cyberspace, one that will surely be seminal in …

There's also great discussion about cyber wepons. For instance, an enemy might render an air defense system harmless through a cyberattack instead of a bombing.

So it was in his interests to march in the other direction to stand out from the crowd. This book takes stock, twenty years on: is cyber war really coming? Cyber operations are almost definitionally non-violent, and states increasingly using them is a net positive as compared to traditional methods of achieving the same aims. I feel my background as both a reviewer and someone who knows about the nuances of computer security allows for me to write a pretty informed yet unbiased review. Cyber espionage means less reliance on putting human sources in danger.

In a war, the decision to target something is directly connected to causing human casualties.

It was great to read good argumentation, why there haven't been any cyber war yet and why it's a good chance that there won't be any. There is no doubt that "cyber" is a type of tool, which occasionally is even a weapon and this book outlines exactly when that is, why it is and tries to help us understand what that means as we move forward.

Blessedly short too.provocative scholarly work but ultimately underwhelming. 1849042802 In Cyber War Will Not Take Place, Thomas Rid takes a razor to the evidence and carefully dissects the evolution of conflict and espionage in the cyber age. Right on the heels of Rise of the Machines: The Lost History of Cybernetics, I decided to read the book Thomas Rid actually released first: Cyber War Will Not Take Place.

But then apparently after this provocative title should be a small starred asterisk where the author follows with the following caveat to his thesis: cyber war will not happen because for him cyber war is narrowly defined and does not cover cyber attacks that aim for sabotage, espionage, or subversion.

There's also great discussion about cyber wepons. Cyber War Will Not Take Place cuts through the hype and takes a fresh look at cyber security.

His assertion can be discredited with three letters: UAV.

Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account.This book is extremely well written, well researched and explains issues in an easy to read and comprehend manner. What this book does is to define some terms, tell some stories, and say mostly nothing. In a war, the decision to target something is directly connected to causing human casualties.

Justin A. Reynolds burst onto the YA scene last year with his debut book Opposite of Always, a heartfelt novel about love and friendship...An excellent read for the layman wanting to know the strategic implications of the new digital world.

John Arquilla and David Ronfeldt introduced the concept of cyberwar in 1993, 10 declaring that the information age will transform "the nature of war,"11 and that the "military organization and doctrine, as well as strategy, tactics, and weapons design"12 must necessarily be redefined.
