How Nations Fight, Trade, Maneuver, and Manipulate in the Digital Age

In The Hacked World request, Adam Segal shows how governments use the web to wage war and spy on, coerce, and damage each other. Israel is intent on derailing the Iranian nuclear weapons program. India wants to prevent Pakistani terrorists from using their Blackberries to coordinate attacks. Brazil has plans to lay newly-released fiber cables and develop satellite links so its Internet traffic no longer has to pass through Miami. China does not want to be dependent on the West for its technology needs. These new digital conflicts have as yet posed no physical threat -- no one has ever died from a cyberattack -- but they serve to undermine the integrity of complex systems like power grids, financial institutions, and security networks.
