Critics Review
’The placid reveries of these last few decades are about to be shattered by a new era of global conflict-one defined by a profusion of technologies even their creators don’t fully understand. Steve Feldstein is among the guides I trust most in this uncertain landscape. He’s the rare analyst with the breadth of knowledge, variety of experience, and clarity of vision to help the rest of us navigate the furious change that awaits.’
– Josh Chin * Senior Wall Street Journal Correspondent, and co-author of Surveillance State *‘Steve Feldstein is a leading authority on the intersection of technology and governance. While tech is reshaping power in ways we barely understand, Steve’s work cuts through the noise to highlight what we need to know. His work on digital repression and global politics challenges conventional thinking and offers new perspectives on critical issues.’ – Dr. Seva Gunitsky * Political Science professor at University of Toronto and author of Aftershocks *‘We hear a great deal about weaponized interdependence and the technological arms race, but this desperately needs to be corralled together into an accessible book with a coherent central thesis. Steve Feldstein is a seriously talented and clear-headed thinker and he is the right man-given his connections, access and expertise-to write it.’ – Dr Matthew Ford * War Studies professor at Swedish Defence University, Stockholm, and co-author of Radical War *’The placid reveries of these last few decades are about to be shattered by a new era of global conflict-one defined by a profusion of technologies even their creators don’t fully understand.
