"At one point, if not already, you will be the victim of Information Warfare," writes Winn Schwartau in his introduction. "If not you, then a member of your family or a close friend. "Your company will become a designated target of Information Warfare. If not yesterday or today, then definitely tomorrow. You will be hit. Why? Because the United States is at war, a war that few of us have bothered to notice. The twentieth century information skirmishes, which are the prelude to global Information Warfare, have begun. Information Warfare is coming.

For some, it has already arrived." Information Warfare is about how citizens of both the United States & Cyberspace must come to terms with their electronic destiny as they lead the world into the twenty-first century & the Information Age. It defines where we are today, where we're going, & what issues we must directly confront if we wish to design our future, not be consumed by it. Information Warfare discusses industrial espionage; hackers & cyberpunks; malicious software & viruses; data eavesdropping; code breaking & chipping; attacks on personal privacy; HERF guns, EMP/T bombs, & magnetic weaponry; & binary schizophrenia-which costs America $100 to $300 billion annually.
