From Russias tampering with the US election to the WannaCry hack that temporarily crippled Britains NHS, cyber has become the weapon of choice for democracies, dictators, and terrorists.Cheap to acquire, easily deniable, and used for a variety of malicious purposesfrom crippling infrastructure to sowing discord and doubtcyberweapons are re-writing the rules of warfare. In less than a decade, they have displaced terrorism and nuclear missiles as the biggest immediate threat to international security and to democracy.Here, New York Times correspondent, David E. Sanger takes us from the White House Situation Room to the dens of Chinese government hackers and the boardrooms of Silicon Valley, piecing together a remarkable picture of a world now coming face-to-face with the most sophisticatedand arguably most dangerousweapon ever invented.The Perfect Weapon is the dramatic story of a new era of constant sabotage, misinformation, and fear in which everyone is a target.
