Cybersecurity is a critical issue that requires a humanistic perspective to understand its implications. This book explores the intersection of speculative fiction, cyberpunk, and the digital humanities to provide a unique insight into the world of cybersecurity. By examining these genres, the book argues that we can predict the future political, cultural, and social realities that will emerge from technological change.
The book makes the case for a security-minded humanities education that can provide the critical, technical, and ethical insights needed to oppose the normalization of surveillance, disinformation, and coercion. It examines pressing issues such as data security, privacy, social engineering, and more, illustrating how the humanities offer the necessary tools to challenge these issues.
The book takes a counter-cultural approach to technology, advocating for a wider notion of literacy that includes the ability to write and fight the computer code that shapes our lives. It offers a model of activism that empowers individuals to intervene and resist government and corporate oversight online, promoting a more democratic and transparent digital environment.
In conclusion, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the complex world of cybersecurity and its implications for society. It provides a unique perspective on the issue through the lens of speculative fiction, cyberpunk, and the digital humanities, and offers a practical model of activism that can help to shape the future of the digital world.
