In drawing on interviews conducted with experts from a wide range of fields, the book presents the reader with dilemmas and paradigms that confront law makers, corporate leaders, law enforcement, and national leaders. The book is structured in a novel format by employing a series of vignettes which have been created as exercises intended to confront the reader with the dilemmas involved in cyber-security.

Rezensionen / Stimmen
'This book provides a fresh and novel perspective on the complex phenomenon that we term "cyberspace." Because of the rise of the world-wide-web as the human communication medium of choice, the internet is no longer a personal, or national space. It embraces us all in a single social bond that has to be both explicated and understood. This is not a "nice to know" situation. It is one that will inevitably require every single individual on this planet to understand how they fit in. This book starts that important conversation and in many ways it is the entry point to reaching that new understanding of borderless, in many cases anonymous and even cultureless human interaction. Careful attention ought to be paid to the concerns raised here. And ideas for dealing with them developed.' -- Daniel Shoemaker, Center for Cyber Security and Intelligence Studies, University of Detroit, Mercy, USA

His combination of analysis and pragmatism make study of this book a highly rewarding experience.'-- Clive Walker, Professor Emeritus, University of Leeds, UK
