This book studies force, the coercive application of power against
resistance, building from Thomas Hobbes' observation that all
self-contained political orders have some ultimate authority that
uses force to both dispense justice and to defend the polity
against its enemies. This cross-disciplinary analysis finds that
rulers concentrate force through cooperation, conveyance, and
comprehension, applying common principles across history. Those
ways aim to keep foes from concerting their actions, or by
eliminating the trust that should bind them. In short, they make
enemies afraid to cooperate, and now they are doing so in
cyberspace as well.
