cybersecurity became a word around 1989. This book explains the early landscape from then.

This book was an early adopter of the cybersecurity paradigm and explained what might be expected in the future.

It's good, but old and different

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2016

Verified Purchase

It's a pretty dated book, but the principles and writing are still good. It's more of a cathartic anecdotal reading good for an introduction than a college level study book.

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2013

Verified Purchase

Written in 1994 this is amazing, especially if you are working on a term paper or doing your thesis.
I really am going to stop rating products if I have to keep writing 20 or more words, it feels like a homework assignment.
This was inexpensive and worked as advertised.

Good technical insights not found elsewhere

Amazingly prophetic. Good technical insights not found elsewhere.

Thought provoking must read

Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2013

I read this back in the late 90s from cover to cover when I was a youngster. It is not technical in terms of showing code anywhere. It is largely a collection of papers. It reads like it was compiled by some genius anarchist that somehow saw the big picture of global cyber and is telling you "These are the things you need to know! These are the problems we face!" This anarchist feel is solidly reinforced by the last article on "Assassination politics" (completely not related to the technical field). This book will give you new thoughts to think. This book has only become more relevant and important as time passes.

Very important book

Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2001

The importance of the contents of this book cannot be overstated. It is a collection of articles written by various experts in the field, which works well as it gives the reader a balanced view. Space prohibits a thorough review, so a list of some important highlights in the book is in order: 1. The discussion on applications of biotronics: bacteria that can detect single molecules of chemical and biological agents. 2. High-power radio frequency (HERF) weapons and their effects on biological systems. 3. The use of superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDS) to measure the magnetic neural activity of the brain. 4. The discussion on "assassination politics". 5. Cognitive maps used to visualize belief systems about information warfare. 6. The afterward of the book, which is the best part actually, for the reason that the author embraces an optimistic view of the future of the information age. He lists the "Ten Commandments" of computer ethics which should be followed by all individuals.
