Power to the People

How Open Technological Innovation is Arming Tomorrow's Terrorists

Buch

Never before have so many possessed the means to be so lethal. The diffusion of modern technology (robotics, cyber weapons, 3-D printing, autonomous systems, and artificial intelligence) to ordinary people has given them access to weapons of mass violence previously monopolized by the state. In recent years, states have attempted to stem the flow of such weapons to individuals and non-state groups, but their efforts are failing. Based on hard lessons from previouswaves of weapons-technology such as dynamite and the assault rifle, Power to the People, explains what the future may hold and how we should respond.
