DISCOVER THE FASCINATING HISTORY OF HOW THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT TRANSFORMED HACKERS INTO A POWERFUL GEOPOLITICAL WEAPON

Hack to the Future: How World Governments Relentlessly Pursue and Domesticate Hackers is an intriguing and one-of-a-kind exploration of the singular relationship between the United States government and the U. S. hacking subculture over the last several decades. Author and veteran infosec expert Emily Crose explores the complicated and fraught interactions between the two groups, demonstrating how the state sought to weaponize and exploit what began as a nerdy group of bored, young, males, eventually transforming them into a novel and effective geopolitical weapon.

You'll discover how major cybersecurity events, like the releases of the Morris worm and the Melissa virus changed the way the American and international public perceived and understood hackers and how various government entities, including the National Security Agency (NSA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA), treated-and were treated by-hackers.

An essential and fascinating read that's perfect for anyone interested in U. S. foreign policy, technology, information security, and government, Hack to the Future will earn a prominent place in the libraries of everyone seeking to deepen their understanding of how contemporary hacking culture came to be.
