This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends: The Cyberweapons Arms Race by Nicole Perlroth

2.0

the unabashedly american perspective (in almost every story usa and its various intelligence agencies are painted with a hero-protagonist tint as opposed to other cartoonishly "bad" characters as if usa has some moral highground.. thus, the journalistic objectivity is at least partially if not wholly lost) somewhat takes away from an otherwise relatively readable account of the impact of cyberweapons over time although i have to say that the book doesn't dive deeply into the technical aspects and, as i said, any political analysis is subpar or surface-level at best. i didn't really like the (often weirdly dramatic) tone either although i do understand that it is an attempt to make the read less dry. not sure it was a success
