CW2 Ping

Why a CW2 ping for a tech story? Because I'm convinced that the most critical "battle space" of any CW2 will be cyber space. To that end, I've made the use and misuse of the internet, cell phones and smart phones a key part of my novels.

Too many folks are preparing for some kind of guerrilla warfare in the woods, and they have every bit of tactical gear imaginable.

But the real front in CW2 will involve locating enemies via the internet and this type of tracking technology, and then "disappearing" or "accidenting" or otherwise disposing of them.

Folks, please carefully consider the cyber front in your CW2 thinking.

"Because I'm convinced that the most critical "battle space" of any CW2 will be cyber space."

Agree with you wholeheartedly. It adds a fourth dimension that can only be ignored at one's own peril.

Important post. Thanks for the ping.

The second I believe we are in a world of sh*t is the moment I cancel my involvement with the Internet and cell phone services. I’ll keep the Internet as far as it stays on for reading purposes, but I won’t be posting anywhere on unsecured web sites. I have other means of communications past cell phones that would be much more beneficial.

Quite.
Just turning FR off would be a serious disruption, never mind cell phones being a “where is X now” service.
