"The author of Facebook Nation: Total Information Awareness presents in this new book a timely, informative, and interesting discussion of cybersecurity and cyberterrorism. Easily read and generally nonpartisan, this book should be on the reading list of anyone thinking about the broad policy issues and trends surrounding data mining, privacy, and cyberwarfare. ... The book presents a crisp narrative on common cyber attacks that currently occur and discusses how business and government may protect against these attacks. ... The narrative is certainly full of detail, but it moves along briskly in a compelling fashion that makes it hard to put down. ... The author views terrorism as a disease that may be cured through education and communication. ... The book concludes with the optimistic view that people want peace, and that social media provides opportunities for achieving this. ... The book is a relevant, useful, and genial mix of history, current times, practical advice, and policy goals." (Brad Reid, ACM Computing Reviews, July, 2013) "Very professional and well researched." (Eleanor Clift, Newsweek and The Daily Beast, July, 2013)
