Overview

From drone warfare in the Middle East to digital spying by the NSA, the US government has harnessed the power of cutting-edge technology to terrible effect. But what happens when ordinary people have the same tools at their fingertips?Benjamin Wittes and Gabriella Blum reveal that this new world is nearly upon us. Soon, our neighbors will be building armed drones capable of firing a million rounds a minute and cooking powerful viruses based on recipes found online. These new technologies will threaten not only our lives but the very foundation of the modern nation-state.

The Future of Violence is at once an account of these terrifying new threats and an authoritative blueprint for how we must adapt to survive.
