Forged in War

"Forged in War" explores the evolution of Information Age tools—like computers and cell phones—rooted in modern warfare from World War I through the Cold War to today's cyber conflicts. It examines how these technologies, while enhancing our daily lives through voice assistants and connectivity, also serve as data-gathering devices that fuel an enormous industry prioritizing data over personal liberty. The audiobook delves into the implications of a business model that trades our attention for content, leading to concentrated media ownership and fragmented communities.
