520    "Social media has been weaponized, as state hackers and 
       rogue terrorists have seized upon Twitter and Facebook to 
       create chaos and destruction. This urgent report is 
       required reading, from defense expert P.W. Singer and 
       Council on Foreign Relations fellow Emerson Brooking"--
       |cProvided by publisher. 
520    "Two defense experts explore the collision of war, 
       politics, and social media, where the most important 
       battles are now only a click away. Through the 
       weaponization of social media, the internet is changing 
       war and politics, just as war and politics are changing 
       the internet. Terrorists livestream their attacks, 
       "Twitter wars" produce real world casualties, and viral 
       misinformation alters not just the result of battles, but 
       the very fate of nations. The result is that war, tech, 
       and politics have blurred into a new kind of battlespace 
       that plays out on our smartphones. P. W. Singer and 
       Emerson Brooking tackle the mind bending questions that 
       arise when war goes online and the online world goes to 
       war. They explore how ISIS copies the Instagram tactics of
       Taylor Swift, a former World of Warcraft addict foils war 
       crimes thousands of miles away, internet trolls shape 
       elections, and China uses a smartphone app to police the 
       thoughts of 1.4 billion citizens. What can be kept secret 
       in a world of networks? Does social media expose the truth
       or bury it? And what role do ordinary people now play in 
       international conflicts? Delving into the web's darkest 
       corners, we meet the unexpected warriors of social media, 
       such as the rapper turned jihadist PR czar and the Russian
       hipsters who wage unceasing infowars against the West. 
       Finally, looking to the crucial years ahead, LikeWar 
       outlines a radical new paradigm for understanding and 
       defending against the unprecedented threats of our 
       networked world."--Dust jacket.
