The first book, "The Cybersecurity Dilemma" by Ben Buchanan, explores the use of cyber operations by states as a tool of statecraft. The book examines various cyber attacks, including the North Korean attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment and Russian interference in the 2016 US election. Buchanan argues that hacking is not just a means of signaling, but also a way to shape geopolitical environments. The second book, "Hellfire from Paradise Ranch" by Joseba Zulaika, takes a cultural anthropological approach to drone warfare. Zulaika focuses on the experiences and trauma of those involved in launching lethal drone strikes, but the book is criticized for its polemical arguments and limited perspective. The summary concludes by highlighting the need for further research on the intersection of technology and terrorism, particularly in the realm of cyber threats. pubtype: Review doctype: Book Review src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2024 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
