Cheap to acquire, easy to deny, and usable for a variety of malicious purposes, cyber is now the weapon of choice for democracies, dictators, and terrorists. Two presidents--Bush and Obama--drew first blood with Operation Olympic Games, which used malicious code to blow up Iran's nuclear centrifuges, and yet America proved remarkably unprepared when its own weapons were stolen from its arsenal and, during President Trump's first year, turned back on the United States and its allies. And if Obama would begin his presidency by helping to launch the new era of cyberwar, he would end it struggling unsuccessfully to defend the 2016 U.S. election from interference by Russia, with Vladimir Putin drawing on the same playbook he used to destabilize Ukraine. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMoving from the White House Situation Room to the dens of Chinese government hackers to the boardrooms of Silicon Valley, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003enational security correspondent David Sanger reveals a world coming face-to-face with the perils of technological revolution, where everyone is a target. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Timely and bracing . . .
