Richard A. Clarke

    27. október 1950

    Richard Alan Clarke sa tri desaťročia venoval verejnej službe, pričom sa zameriaval na otázky národnej bezpečnosti a boja proti terorizmu. Jeho kariéra zahŕňala prácu pre ministerstvo zahraničia aj kľúčové úlohy v Rade národnej bezpečnosti naprieč niekoľkými prezidentskými administratívami. Clarke sa preslávil svojou otvorenou kritikou reakcie na terorizmus pred útokmi z 11. septembra a vojnového rozhodnutia v Iraku, čím sa stal kontroverznou, ale vplyvnou postavou v debatách o národnej bezpečnosti.

    • Security expert Richard A. Clarke goes beyond "geek talk" to succinctly explain how cyber weapons work and how vulnerable America is to the new world of nearly untraceable cyber criminals and spies. This sobering story of technology, government, and military strategy involving criminals, spies, soldiers, and hackers begins the much needed public policy debate about what America's doctrine and strategy should be, not just for waging, but for preventing the First Cyber War

    • The United States, perceived as the most secure nation in the fight against terrorism, faces a shattering reality as devastating bombings challenge this belief. These attacks strike at America's Achilles' heel by crippling access to the internet. Susan Connor, an intelligence officer at IAC, uncovers a highly explosive conspiracy. With America cut off from the world and its economy severely impacted, U.S. military units abroad become increasingly difficult to manage. The bombings of internet relay stations on the East Coast herald a looming political and economic catastrophe. Is this a show of force from China to pressure the U.S. into withdrawing support for Taiwan's independence efforts? Or is it the act of militant opponents of "transhumanism," aiming to prevent genetic and nanotechnology from altering humanity's divine design? As Susan Connor and her intelligence colleagues investigate under intense pressure, the political situation escalates unexpectedly and dramatically.
