In just a few years' time, the explosive growth of the digital age has made technology the story not just of machines, but of life itself. We are now bound to each other, through software and wifi and social media, across the globe. But what happens when technology, inevitably, is turned against us? In Future Crimes, leading authority on global security Marc Goodman shows that when everything is connected, everything is vulnerable. With explosive insights based upon a career in law enforcement and counterterrorism, Goodman sketches a possible future of hackable pacemakers, 3-D printed AK-47s, defenseless electricity grids, and the death of privacy at large. But he also demonstrates how this future can be stopped, and offers concrete solutions for systemic--and personal--cyber safety.
