Summary:
The book challenges the notion of cyber warfare, arguing that cyber attacks do not constitute war but are instead a form of sabotage, espionage, and subversion. It examines historical and contemporary cyber incidents to demonstrate that they fall short of true warfare and explores the implications for international security and strategy.
Key points:
1. Cyber War Mislabel: Thomas Rid believes "cyber war" doesn't fit the definition of war since cyber attacks aren't usually deadly or destructive like traditional warfare.
