The Internet today connects around 2.7 billion people around the world, and flourishing desire for the "Internet of things" could cause 75 billion devices connected to the web by 2020. The myth of cyberspace as an electronic utopia has long been put to relax. Governments are progressively more developing smarter means of asserting their national authority in cyberspace in an effort to control the stream, organization, and possession of information. In The Hacked World Order, Adam Segal shows how government authorities use the web to wage war and spy on, coerce, and destruction one another. Israel is objective on derailing the Iranian nuclear weapons program. India wishes to prevent Pakistani terrorists from using their Blackberries to coordinate problems. Brazil has plans to lay new fiber cords and develop satellite tv links so its Internet traffic no longer has to pass through Miami. China does not want to be reliant on the West for its technology needs. These new digital conflicts have as yet posed no physical menace - no one has ever perished from a cyberattack - however they provide to undermine the integrity of complicated systems like electricity grids, financial institutions, and security networks. Segal describes how cyberattacks have the potential to produce unintended and unimaginable problems for anyone with an Web connection and a contact account. State-backed hacking initiatives can sabotage trade strategies, take intellectual property, sow monetary chaos, and paralyze entire countries. The Hacked World Order exposes the way the Internet has ushered in a new era of geopolitical maneuvering and unveils its great and terrifying implications for our monetary livelihood, security, and personal personality.
