Cybersecurity and Cyberwar: What Everyone Needs to Know

(Out January 3 in the US, Feb. 3 in Australia, March 27 in UK)

Cyber issues have moved from being something that only the “IT crowd” deals with into an area that we all need to understand. That is, they have gone from “Need to Know” to everyone now needs to know, whether working in politics, business, military, law, etc, or even just as a good citizen or parent. The goal of the book is to help fill that gap, by providing an easy to read guide to the key questions and issues.

Blurbs and Reviews:
"This is the most approachable and readable book ever written on the cyber world. The authors have distilled the key facts and policy, provided sensible recommendations, and opened the debate generally to any informed citizen: a singular achievement. A must read for practitioners and scholars alike."
Admiral James Stavridis, US Navy (Ret), former Supreme Allied Commander at NATO

"In confronting the cybersecurity problem, it's important for all of us to become knowledgeable and involved. This book makes that possible -- and also fascinating. It's everything you need to know about cybersecurity, wonderfully presented in a clear and smart way."
Walter Isaacson, Author of Steve Jobs; President of the Aspen Institute

“In our digital age, the issues of cybersecurity are no longer just for the technology crowd; they matter to us all. Whether you work in business or politics, the military or the media—or are simply an ordinary citizen—this is an essential read.”
Eric Schmidt, Executive Chairman of Google

“If you read only one book about "all this cyberstuff," make it this one. Singer and Friedman know how to make even the most complicated material accessible and even entertaining, while at the same time making a powerful case for why ALL of us need to know more and think harder about the (cyber) world we now live in.”
Anne-Marie Slaughter, President of the New America Foundation, former Director of Policy Planning, US State Department

“Singer and Friedman blend a wonderfully easy to follow FAQ format with engaging prose, weaving explanations of the elements of cybersecurity with revealing anecdotes. From the fundamentals of Internet architecture to the topical intrigue of recent security leaks, this book provides an accessible and enjoyable analysis of the current cybersecurity landscape and what it could look like in the future.”
Jonathan Zittrain, Professor of Law and Computer Science at Harvard University, author of The Future of the Internet -- And How to Stop It

"I loved the book. Wow. Until I read this astonishing and important book, I didn’t know how much I didn’t know about the hidden world of Cybersecurity and Cyberwar. Singer and Friedman make comprehensible an impossibly complex subject, and expose the frightening truth. Understanding these often-invisible threats to our personal and national security is a necessary first step toward defending ourselves against them. This is an essential read."
Howard Gordon, Writer and Executive Producer of "Homeland" and "24"
