INFOWAR.information.macht.krieg (Ars Electronica) (German and English Edition)

By C. Schopf and Gerfried Ed. Stocker

International specialists from science, economics and the arts discuss the strategies behind data-aided wars, from the Gulf conflict to the cyber-guerrilla. With the "success" of the Gulf War acting as a stimulus, "information warfare" is developing at an incredible rate. Ranging from the computer-aided war, and the increase in destructive potential through the use of IT, virtual reality and high-tech weaponry, military strategists are increasingly turning their attention to "cyberwar," with its ultimate objective -- the destruction of computer and communication systems, data banks and the wiping-out of the enemy command and control systems.
