War in the Fifth Domain

Humanity faces massive disruptions. In 'War in the Fifth Domain,' Catherine Dumont challenges prevailing narratives about the benefits of certain technological advances related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It is still not clear if we are really heading towards a state of global governance, with authoritarian features, that will supervise and control each human being thanks to exorbitant technological development. It is impossible to ensure that all or even any of the conspiracy theories about the New World Order are true, but it is undeniable that the 2020 pandemic and its constant replication has become an earthquake of unprecedented scale, responsible for 'gigantic tectonics movements in geopolitics'. What would happen if we had to face a wave of cyberattacks that affected companies and their servers, but also the operation of hospitals, transportation and security? If you need answers to these and other questions, then go ahead and pick up this book.
