商品描述

This book assesses potential developments of terrorism and ways to prevent it--the growing threats as new technologies become available -- and how the same new technologies may help trap those with potential mal-intent. The drumbeat of terror resonates from everywhere; how can we stop it? What are the tripping points along the road and how can we avoid them?

Increasingly more people have access to increasingly more information and increasingly more destructive technologies. In the meantime, increasingly advanced technologies help us create an increasingly safer and more harmonious world. Advantages and disadvantages are accelerating each other. While hybrid threats are intensifying, so are the opportunities to address them. But what are the compromises and how can we mitigate them?

This book also looks at the unexpected and often random success and failure of policies to counter the evolving terror threat. The various aspects of the terrorism phenomena are presented in a unique way using scenario vignettes, which give the reader a realistic perception of the threat. The combination of positive and negative implications of emerging technologies is describing what might well be one of the most important dimensions of our common future.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書評估了恐怖主義的潛在發展及其預防方法——隨著新技術的出現，威脅日益增長——以及這些新技術如何幫助捕捉那些可能有惡意意圖的人。恐怖的鼓聲從四面八方響起；我們該如何阻止它？在這條路上有哪些絆腳石，我們又該如何避免它們？

越來越多的人可以接觸到越來越多的信息和越來越具破壞性的技術。與此同時，越來越先進的技術幫助我們創造一個越來越安全和和諧的世界。優勢和劣勢相互加速。雖然混合威脅在加劇，但應對這些威脅的機會也在增加。但妥協是什麼，我們又該如何減輕它們？

這本書還探討了應對不斷演變的恐怖威脅的政策所帶來的意外和往往隨機的成功與失敗。恐怖主義現象的各個方面以獨特的方式呈現，使用情境小品，讓讀者對威脅有現實的認知。新興技術的正面和負面影響的結合描述了我們共同未來中可能是最重要的維度之一。
