Advance Praise for THE FUTURE OF VIOLENCE By Benjamin Wittes and Gabriella Blum “Benjamin Wittes and Gabriella Blum provide a compelling and sobering argument that the rapid advancement and proliferation of new technologies—from cyber to biotech to robotics—have fundamentally altered our security. We face the prospect of a Hobbesian state of nature, where each individual is at once a figure of great power and great vulnerability. In this indispensable book, Wittes and Blum then tackle the staggering implications: What does this mean for the social contract between citizen and state and our traditional notions of liberty, privacy, and security? In short, can the modern state keep us safe?” —Matthew Olsen, former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center “A superb treatment of a roiling landscape brought on by breathtaking advances in technology and an onrush of global connectivity that easily outruns systems of governance and user expectations. A must read for those seeking a framework for understanding and action.” —John Chris Inglis, former Deputy Director of the National Security Agency “In a globalized world facing widely distributed and technologically empowered threats, Benjamin Wittes and Gabriella Blum develop a new and compelling vision for a twenty-first century legal and security architecture. Political leaders, judges, and citizens will find important guidance in this book.” —Michael Chertoff, former United States Secretary of Homeland Security
