• Fareed Zakaria: “This week's book of the week is "@War" by Shane Harris. Cyberwar is the next frontier, for better or worse, and we all need to understand it much more deeply than we do. This might be the best guide, a spirited and well based account of the challenges we face and how to counter them.”
