A senior adviser at the Stanford University Center on Geopolitics and Technology and former news policy lead at Google lays out the high-stakes global cyberwar brewing between Western democracies and the autocracies of China and Russia that could potentially crush democracy.
What The Reviewers Say
A worthwhile meditation on this so-called gray war might reflect on how we often wage such a war on ourselves.
... a chilling study of how 'techno-totalitarian' regimes are seeking to control the hardware and software of the internet.
Helberg is entirely correct in his assessment that this will require overhauling science and engineering education and expanding government-business cooperation, all of which will lead to a modern 'Sputnik moment'.
