Wars Without Flags
War no longer wears a uniform. From the battlefields of Ukraine to the deserts of Africa and the networks of cyberspace, power is being fought over in ways most of the world barely sees. Militias, private armies, and cyber mercenaries are replacing traditional forces, while AI warfare and disinformation reshape the very idea of sovereignty. Violence has become deniable, outsourced, and profitable-a shadow marketplace of force where loyalty is bought and borders are irrelevant.This book pulls back the curtain on the world of proxy warfare, exposing how private military companies, hacker-for-hire groups, and autonomous weapons are redrawing the global map. Drawing on gripping case studies from today's conflicts, it explains why governments outsource war, how militias gain legitimacy, and what happens when algorithms make life-and-death decisions.For readers of geopolitics, security, technology, or current affairs, this is an urgent and accessible guide to the new face of conflict. Whether you are curious about the Wagner Group, anxious about autonomous weapons ethics, or seeking to understand the hidden forces behind gray zone conflict, this book delivers clarity where most headlines deliver noise.By the end, you'll see how these invisible wars touch business, democracy, and daily life-and why understanding them is essential to navigating the century ahead. It offers a sharper lens for interpreting world events and a deeper awareness of the risks and realities shaping tomorrow's order.This is not a distant theory of war's future. It is the inside story of the world already here-where cyber war, militia warfare, and AI-driven conflict are defining power in the twenty-first century.
Digital Dictatorship
A world without chains can still be a prison. Today's most powerful regimes-whether in Beijing, Silicon Valley, or your own city-no longer rely on brute force to ensure obedience. They rely on code, algorithms, and incentives that reshape behavior so quietly that compliance feels voluntary. This is the unsettling reality of digital authoritarianism, where freedom is exchanged for convenience and control is enforced without a single shot fired.This book exposes how algorithmic governance and surveillance capitalism critique converge to create a system that rewards predictability and punishes deviation. From China's social credit system to Western experiments in predictive policing, from corporate loyalty apps to platform moderation rules, the same logic is at work: technology becomes the new architecture of power.Designed for thoughtful readers who sense that something deeper than "privacy loss" is at stake, this book connects history, psychology, and culture to reveal how societies are being trained into compliance. It challenges the belief that democracy and dictatorship are separate technological futures, showing instead how they are converging on the same system of engineered obedience.Readers will gain: - A clear framework for recognizing when convenience disguises control; - Insight into how behavioral nudging technology normalizes submission; - An understanding of how corporate surveillance and state power reinforce each other; - Practical clarity on where resistance is still possible.

The Propagation of Misinformation in Social Media
There is growing awareness about how social media circulate extreme viewpoints and turn up the temperature of public debate. Posts that exhibit agitation garner disproportionate engagement. Within this clamour, fringe sources and viewpoints are mainstreaming, and mainstream media are marginalized. This book takes up the mainstreaming of the fringe and the marginalization of the mainstream. In a cross-platform analysis of Google Web Search, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, 4chan and TikTok, the authors found that hyperpartisan web operators, alternative influencers and ambivalent commentators are in ascendency. The book can be read as a form of platform criticism. It puts on display the current state of information online, noting how social media platforms have taken on the mantle of accidental authorities, privileging their own on-platform performers and at the same time adjudicating between claims of what is considered acceptable discourse.

The Internet Stack
An accessible journey through the seam that connects the digital world of the Internet to our physical world. The stack--the conduit between our digital and physical worlds--is the elusive, mysterious, and least-understood part of the Internet. In the five seconds it took you to read that, 100 quadrillion bits of data just whizzed through the stack. Our metaphors--cloud, virtual, cyber--blind us to the incredible reality: The Internet is a physical thing: dingy, wet, and rusty. In The Stack, Amrit Tiwana takes us on a journey through this gritty reality. The book begins with its breathtaking physical layer, laden with geography, luck, and history dating to the Civil War era. Then it shows us how most Internet traffic flows deep undersea as laser beams, not up in the "cloud" via satellites. It goes on to explore how the stack constructs and deconstructs "packets" layer-by-layer, how these packets travel over rickety paths, and how the stack can assimilate stuff that has yet to be invented. Finally, it discusses how we construct resilience out of fragile parts and how quantum computing might affect the stack.

AI and ADA
Preface The book's Preface places the current AI explosion in the context of other technological cataclysms and recounts the author's personal (and not always deadly serious) AI journey. Chapter One: "Extracting the Essence: Toward Machine Translation of Literature" This 2019 essay rashly inquired whether artificial intelligence (AI) and machine translation (MT) might eventually be applied to literary translation. Such translation strives to somehow preserve the essence of a work while carrying it over to a different language and culture and giving it rebirth there. To recognize that essence, the translator must accurately capture the meaning of the original; appreciate its metaphors, connotations, register, references, and other abstract or associative factors; and choose among available target language expressions by exercising esthetic judgments. Computers, however, have until recently remained incapable of such accuracy, abstraction, and judgment. We revisited these shortfalls in light of developments in MT and AI. We teased apart several separable aspects of literary translation - literal meaning, meter, rhyme, and the abovementioned associative elements - with reference to arguments about Vladimir Nabokov's hyper-literal translation of Pushkin's poem Eugene Onegin. Prompted by this debate, we came to analyze translation as an optimization problem: because it will often prove impossible to perfectly convey all aspects or essences of a text in a single translation, the translator must search for some optimal compromise. Then we discussed several avenues for improvement in MT which could help to extract these aspects of a text's essence - first, those which might enhance textually grounded MT (i.e., MT trained on text only), leading to delivery of high-quality literal translations; and second, those related to perceptually grounded MT (i.e., MT trained on simulated perception, e.g. of audiovisual input, as well as text), which might extract more abstract or associative elements of a text. We suggested that recognition of categories would prove central to the essence extraction sought by translators. As this categorization improves, MT should increasingly support literary, and thus cultural, preservation. However, the deepest artificial esthetic judgments will await artificial emotion. Chapter One concluded with two appendices, the first sampling numerous competing translations of Pushkin verses and the second displaying widely varying translations of a short French poem. Chapter Two: "Toward an Artificial Nabokov" Chapter One inquired whether artificial translation of literature might be at all possible. The cautious conclusion was that while high-quality literal translation might be achievable through foreseeable development of current techniques, artistic translation would await artificial emotion, a more distant prospect. This 2021 sequel went on to ask whether an artificial intelligence might eventually gain the ability to actually create works of literary art. To throw literary consciousness into the sharpest relief, we took as exemplar an author known for a kind of hyper-consciousness: Vladimir Nabokov. To be sure, the suggestion that artworks combining Nabokov's superhuman intricacy and wholly human depth could be authored by a collection of switches would horrify this transcendent author, and does seem to fly in the face of everything that is most human. But while we are concerned with what machines might do, our more fundamental concern is to understand the human thoughts and feelings to which machines might aspire; and this understanding, promising to bridge the gap between C.P. Snow's two cultures, is finally coming within reach. In our literary context, Nabokov scholarship provides many specific examples - in Ada: or Ardor, Pale Fire, and other works - of the author's hyper-conscious artistic techniques: glorying in memory; repetition to establish themes and motifs; allusion to wide-ranging w
