520    "Future Peace" urges extreme caution in the adoption of 
       new weapons technology and is an impassioned plea for 
       peace from an individual who spent decades preparing for 
       war. Today's militaries are increasingly reliant on highly
       networked autonomous systems, artificial intelligence and 
       advanced weapons that were previously the domain of 
       science fiction writers. In a world where these complex 
       technologies clash with escalating international tensions,
       what can we do to decrease the chances of war? In "Future 
       Peace", the eagerly awaited sequel to "Future War", Robert
       H. Latiff questions our overreliance on technology and 
       examines the pressure-cooker scenario created by the 
       growing animosity beteween the United States and its 
       adversaries, our globally deployed and thinly stretched 
       military, the capacity for advanced technology to catalyze
       violence, and the American public's lack of familiarity 
       with these topics. "Future Peace" describes the many 
       provocations to violence and how technologies are abetting
       those urges, and it explores what can be done to mitigate 
       not only dangerous human behaviors but also dangerous 
       technical behaviors. latiff concludes that peace is 
       possible but will require intense, cooperative efforts on 
       the part of technologists, military leaders, diplomats, 
       politicians, and citizens. "Future Peace" amplifies some 
       well-known ideas about how to address the issues, and 
       provides far-, mid-, and short-term recommendations for 
       actions tahat are necessary to reverse the apparent 
       headlong rush into conflict. This compelling and timely 
       book will captivae general readers, students, and scholars
       of global affairs, internaational security, arms control, 
       and military ethics.
