About the Book: The Dark Side of Technology
The Dark Side of Technology is intended as a powerful wake-up call to the
potential dangers that could, in the near future, destroy our current advanced
civilizations. The author examines how fragile our dependence on electronic
communications, information storage, and satellites is, as vulnerability
increases in an age of raising security concerns. This weakness is evident from
the exponential rise in cyber-crime and terrorism. Satellites are crucial to
modern-day living, but they can be destroyed by energetic space debris or
damaged by solar emissions. Destruction of data, communications, and electrical
power grids would bring disaster to advanced nations.
