From drone warfare in the Middle East to digital spying, today's
governments have harnessed the power of cutting-edge technology to
awesome effect. But what happens when ordinary people have the same
tools at their fingertips? Advances in cybertechnology,
biotechnology and robotics mean that more people than ever before
have access to potentially dangerous technologies - from drones to
computer networks and biological agents - which could be used to
attack states and private citizens alike. In The Future of
Violence, security experts Benjamin Wittes and Gabriella Blum
detail the myriad possibilities and enormous risks present in the
modern world, and argue that if our national governments can no
longer adequately protect us from harm, they will lose their
legitimacy. They explain how governments, companies and citizens
must rethink their efforts to protect our lives and liberty. As a
senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and co-director of the
Harvard Law School-Brookings Project on Law and Security, Benjamin
Wittes is arguably the Unites States' leading expert on security
and law. Gabriella Blum is the Rita E. Hauser Professor of Human
Rights and Humanitarian Law at Harvard University.
