What does "cyber" even mean? And where does the idea come from?

We live in an age increasingly defined by technology. But as we check our emails, board a plane, or read about the latest Russian hack, we rarely ask how the ideas that shaped our modern world originated.

Thomas Rid's revelatory history of cybernetics pulls together disparate threads in the history of technology: from the invention of radar and pilotless flying bombs in World War Two, to artificial intelligence, virtual reality, cryptocurrencies, and present day fears about cyber security.

Thomas Rid is Professor in Security Studies at King’s College London. He received his PhD from Humboldt University in Berlin, and worked for ten years in leading think tanks in Berlin, Paris, Washington and Jerusalem. He is the author of four books, including War and Media Operations (2007) and Cyber War Will Not Take Place (2013). He lives in London. Follow him at @RIDT.
