Nikolaus Brandstetter: Autonomy and Annihilation, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

Welcome to the battlefield of the future-where wars are fought not only with soldiers and tanks, but with artificial intelligence, autonomous drones, and cyberattacks. As the world enters the era of War 4.0, the rules of conflict are being rewritten, and the lines between human and machine, peace and war, are blurring.

In Autonomy and Annihilation, this groundbreaking book explores the technologies that are transforming modern warfare, from AI-driven decision-making systems to quantum computing and cyber warfare. It delves into the rise of hyperwar-a new type of conflict where decisions are made in milliseconds, autonomous systems outpace human soldiers, and cyberattacks can cripple entire nations in an instant.

But this is not just a book about technology. It's about the profound ethical, strategic, and psychological implications of hyperwar. What happens when machines are given the power to decide who lives and who dies? How do we govern these technologies in a world where the speed of war leaves little room for human intervention? And most importantly, how do we prepare for a future where global security hinges on mastering the tools of hyperwar? Whether you're a military professional, a technology enthusiast, or simply a curious reader, War 4.0 offers a riveting and essential exploration of the forces shaping the future of global conflict. The dawn of hyperwar is upon us-are we ready?
