Infowar

Military research, claims this text, is what spurred on the development of both the computer and the Internet. This text asks in what way is the military origin of these technologies going to affect their civil application, what consequences is it going to have, what forms of war will the information society bring about, and on what fronts? Information is a decisive economic and cultural resource of modern society, and has become central to military-strategic deliberations. Is the global information network going to become the battlefield of the future? The text explores all these questions and views the "strategic weapon" and the power of the media as a political power.
