As we close out 2018, I had an incredibly hard time reducing this list to a top ten. I read one book a week for my Global Frequency mailing list (if you aren’t a subscriber, you should be – www.globalfrequency.com) and had many great books to pick from for 2018. Last year, I specifically excluded cyber books, but they are back on the list for this year with LikeWar winning my pick of the year. This year is also heavy on AI books as I’ve been on a personal quest to learn as much as I can about the topic. I think AI developments will be an important fundamental shift in the near-future and it will touch every industry just like cybersecurity touches every industry today. As in previous years, I’ve also reserved two spots for fictional books because all work and no play makes Matt a dull boy, but fiction reliably informs our future as well. Happy reading and if you enjoy this list, please share it.
The most important book of 2018 should be required reading for informed citizens. LikeWar examines how influence operations have fully moved into the domain of social networks and provides not only a detailed history but key insight into the current state of play.
There have been numerous looks at the current state of cyberconflict, but Sanger’s is one of the best. Richly detailed and well sourced, this is a great look at an important topic.
