Future Crimes

Inside The Digital Underground and the Battle For Our Connected World

Beschreibung

Technological advances have benefited our world in immeasurable ways, but there is an ominous flipside. Criminals have adopted technology and modern times have led to modern crimes: 3D printers produce AK-47s, terrorists can download the recipe for the Ebola virus, and drug cartels are building drones. This book deals with this topic.

Rezensionen

Goodman describes Future Crimes as a 'rough ride' - and with some justice. But in an area where criminals profit from the ignorance of the general public, it is a ride well worth taking if we are to prevent the worst of his predictions from taking shape Financial Times
