Binary Bullets: The Ethics of Cyberwarfare
ISBN: 9780190221089 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Philosophical and ethical discussions of warfare are often tied to emerging technologies and techniques. Today we are presented with what many believe is a radical shift in the nature of war-the realization of conflict in the cyber-realm, the so-called "fifth domain" of warfare.

Are the standard theories of just war capable of analyzing and assessing this mode of conflict? These changing circumstances present us with a series of questions demanding serious attention. Is there such...
