Abstract

People are on the move across the Arab world, organizing politically in new ways. The Arab media have also undergone a transformation and are still in a state of flux. It is therefore crucial to be able to discuss political initiatives in the region in the light of media developments. This authoritative book answers key questions about the connections between media and political change in the Arab world. Using research into, for example, practices of Internet users, journalists, demonstratorsand producers of reality TV, it explores the interface between public interaction over the airwaves,

Abstract

In this book the author takes us on a journey around the world for a preview of the next major technological and cultural shift. The coming wave is the result of super-efficient mobile communications : cellular phones, PDAs and hand-held computers, devices that put the power of instant and ubiquitous communication - literally - within everyone's grasp. From Lovegeties in Japan that light up when a potential mate appears in the vicinity, to the overthrow of repressive regimes in the Philippines and Senegal by cell-phone wielding activits, to terrorits coordinating via encoded text messages, these smart mobs represent a fundamentally new form of connectivity. Applying insights form sociology, articificial intelligence, economics and anthropology, he offers a penetrating perspective on the unprecedented convergence of pop culture, cutting-edge technology and social activism, reminding us that the real impact of mobile communications will come not from the technology itself but from how people use it.

Abstract

New technologies are changing how we protect our citizens and wage our wars. Among militaries, everything taken for granted about the ability to maneuver and fight is now undermined by vulnerability to “weapons of mass disruption”: cutting-edge computer worms, viruses, and invasive robot networks. At home, billions of household appliances and other “smart” items that form the Internet of Things risk being taken over, then added to the ranks of massive, malicious “zombie” armies. The age of Bitskrieg is here, bringing vexing threats that range from the business sector to the battlefield. n this new book, world-renowned cybersecurity expert John Arquilla looks unflinchingly at the challenges posed by cyberwarfare – which he argues have been neither met nor mastered.  The changes called for require radical rethinking of military and security affairs, diplomacy, and even the routines of our daily lives.
