Introducing LikeWar
LikeWar: The Weaponization of Social Media, a book written by P.W. Singer and Emerson Brooking explores how politics, war, and the internet come together to create what is now considered the 21st battles among nations. The book describes how social media has become a weapon wielded by nations against each other, thus changing the nature of politics and war. It shows how politics and war are also creating an impact on the nature of the internet. The book refers to the recent confounding global developments that all happen online—the livestream attacks launched by terrorists, the Twitter wars that have real consequences on people and events, the misinformation that creates political effects. The new battlespace now involves tech, politics, and war that all happen on smartphones. So many questions have since been raised as online wars started. The authors try to answer what people want to know about these cyber wars. They explain how Instagram tactics used by Taylor Swift is copied by ISIS to forward their terrorist attacks. They tell the story of how an online game addict learns to prevent war crimes from happening, how internet trolls cast serious damage to political aspirations, and how China keeps watching over its citizens by using a smartphone app. Questions about privacy, truth, people's roles and responsibilities in relation to the international conflict are likewise explored. They write about warriors of social media
