Overview

We are already at war-but almost no one has noticed. No tanks are rolling, no missiles are flying, and no soldiers are dying. Yet entire societies are being reshaped, elections overturned, alliances shattered, and trillion-dollar infrastructures abandoned-all by weaponized information most people never see coming. In this groundbreaking book, William Liu reveals how the cognitive domain has quietly become the most decisive theater of 21st-century conflict. Nations, corporations, and non-state networks now possess the ability to achieve strategic objectives that once required massive military force-simply by reshaping what populations believe, doubt, fear, and desire. Through gripping real-world cases and declassified patterns, you'll discover: How a single laptop can now do the work of three armored divisions Why ""disinformation"" is only the decoy-and what the real attack looks like The industrialization of persuasion: how influence operations moved from craft to factory Why traditional fact-checking and platform moderation are structurally doomed to fail The invisible infrastructure that turns data, algorithms, and narratives into weapons of mass cognitive effect How consciousness itself is becoming the final battlefield-and what humanity's choices are as artificial and human cognition begin to merge This is not a book about conspiracy theories or social media outrage. It is a clear-eyed examination of the new reality: information has been fully militarized, the barriers to entry have collapsed, and every mind is now a potential target. The cognitive war is already being fought over your perception, your decisions, and your future. The only question left is whether you will understand the battlefield before the next salvo lands. Essential reading for leaders, strategists, technologists, and anyone who wants to see the world as it actually is-not as it appears.
