2034: A Novel of the Next World War by James Stavridis, Elliot Ackerman
4.0
I really liked that geopolitical fiction novel by former Admiral James Stavridis (ex-NATO commander) and Elliott Ackerman, former military with 5 tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Some of the novel is pretty disturbing about how such a war would turn out. Cyber warfare is terrifying, as well as the threat of tactical nuclear weapons. But it felt quite realistic. Character development is really good in this novel, this isn't like the similar WWIII-themed novel "War With Russia" of Richard Shirreff for which I found character development very robotic.
It does stay in your mind for a while, reflecting on how we could stumble into such a catastrophic conflagration.
