Overview

When power no longer needs boots to cross a border, it arrives through updates, outages, and the quiet recalibration of your daily choices. This book takes you inside the global contest where nations and their proxies fight for control of digital sovereignty, where state hackers explain becomes the language of geopolitics, and where hospitals, schools, and small firms are collateral in a struggle for AI in conflict and influence. It shows how data colonisation works in practice-who extracts value, who bears risk-and why the rise of the surveillance state critique concerns every voter, parent, and owner. You will see how ransomware became foreign policy, how platforms shape elections, and how the coming shift to post-quantum security might break what we trust today. Along the way, you get a clear playbook for protecting citizens online and cybersecurity for small businesses: realistic baselines, smarter procurement, and habits that reduce everyday harm. If you have sensed that the world is moving under your feet but lacked the map, this is it. - Understand the five-layer stack that decides who holds power - Read incidents like an analyst-and policies like a citizen - Act with confidence, without surrendering liberty For readers who want more than fear or hype, this is a guide to the real battlefield of cyber warfare book stakes: code, clouds, and the choices that protect what matters.

Author Information

Arjun Deshmukh writes where code meets power. Raised among the din of new industries and old institutions, he is preoccupied with a simple question: how do we keep human dignity intact when systems scale faster than laws and habits? His work braids field reporting, historical memory, and systems thinking-moving from the quiet rooms where standards are set to the municipal offices where outages are felt. He has spent years listening to engineers, civil servants, nurses, and small traders describe the same event from different angles, then building frameworks ordinary readers can use. In the tradition of writers who make complex worlds legible without condescension, he argues for security that does not devour liberty, and for sovereignty that does not require empire.
