Sample Book Insights:
#1 The first tweet of the war was sent on May 4, 2009. It was a promotion for Donald Trump’s TV show. Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube were just beginning to be used for socializing and sharing content, but they would soon be thrust into the center of civic life and global politics.
#2 Through his Twitter account, Trump began posting about politics and drawing attention to himself. In the three years that followed, he would personally author some 15,000 tweets.
#3 The Trump campaign was not just a marketing or political campaign, but also an information war fought by hundreds of millions of people across dozens of social media platforms. The participants ranged from politicians and celebrities to soldiers, criminals, and terrorists.
#4 The Islamic State, also known as ISIS or Daesh in Arabic, launched a social media campaign in 2014 to promote their invasion of northern Iraq.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The first tweet of the war was sent on May 4, 2009. It was a promotion for Donald Trump’s TV show. Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube were just beginning to be used for socializing and sharing content, but they would soon be thrust into the center of civic life and global politics.

#2

Through his Twitter account, Trump began posting about politics and drawing attention to himself. In the three years that followed, he would personally author some 15,000 tweets.

#3

The Trump campaign was not just a marketing or political campaign, but also an information war fought by hundreds of millions of people across dozens of social media platforms. The participants ranged from politicians and celebrities to soldiers, criminals, and terrorists.

#4

The Islamic State, also known as ISIS or Daesh in Arabic, launched a social media campaign in 2014 to promote their invasion of northern Iraq. They posted selfies of black-clad militants and Instagram images of convoys that looked like Mad Max come to life. Their demands for swift surrender were spread both regionally and personally, via the internet.

#5

The invasion of Mosul by ISIS was a complete surprise to the Iraqi army, which stood ready to defend the city. But most of the army and police officers either deserted or were corrupted by money.

#6

The German blitzkrieg was made possible by radio, which allowed their armored formations to move in swift harmony. The Islamic State used the internet itself as a weapon, and won a victory that should not have been possible.

#7

ISIS’s momentum was just the leading edge of a broader, globe-spanning phenomenon. The technology it was using, rather than any unique genius on the part of the jihadists, was at the heart of the group’s disruptive power.

#8

Because the Islamic State was also online, the physical and digital battlefields could become incredibly close. The Kurdish news network Rudaw didn’t just send cameramen to embed with soldiers on the front lines; it also livestreamed the whole thing, promising instant access to the carnage.

#9

The intersection of old geography and new technology has led to the increase in gang violence in Chicago. Social media is used to cybertag and cyberbang, which quickly escalates into a feud.

#10

Social media allows threats to be made and carried out without ever having to meet the person who made the threat. This allows any individual to start a feud, and it can quickly be turned into a death sentence.

#11

Social media has changed the way conflicts are handled, from physical clashes to information wars. It is no longer enough for Mexican drug cartel members to kill rivals and seize turf. They must also show their success.

#12

As diplomats and heads of state have embraced social media, they have left behind the slow-moving, ritualistic system that governed international relations for centuries. This has created a new, more public, and more performative diplomacy, which has already begun to affect global relations negatively.

#13

Clausewitz believed that war is political in nature, and that it is always rooted in some sort of desire for gain. To him, winning was simply finding and neutralizing an adversary’s center of gravity, which was often their army.

#14

The book is an attempt to make sense of this seismic shift, and to understand its effects. We studied the history of communications and propaganda, the evolution of journalism and open-source intelligence, the bases of internet psychology, social network dynamics, and virality.

#15

The internet has become the preeminent medium of global communication, commerce, and politics. It has empowered not just new leaders and groups, but a new corporate order that works constantly to expand it.

#16

The modern internet is not just a network of computers, but an ecosystem of nearly 4 billion souls, each with their own thoughts and aspirations. They are the targets not of a single information war, but of thousands and potentially millions of them.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The internet is the largest computer network, and it is not just big; it is the beating heart of international communication and commerce. It supports and spreads global news, information, innovation, and discovery of every kind.

#2

In 1968, two psychologists, J. C. R. Licklider and Robert W. Taylor, wrote a paper titled The Computer as a Communication Device. It proposed a network of computers that could be used to capture and share information. They envisioned not just one or two computers linked together, but a vast constellation of them spread around the globe.

#3

The internet was created in 1969 when a computer at UCLA was linked to a computer at Stanford University. The bits of information on one machine were broken down into packets and then sent to another machine, traveling across 350 miles of leased telephone wire. The first message in internet history was a miscommunication.

#4

The use of technology to communicate began in ancient Mesopotamia around 3100 BCE, when the first written words were pressed into clay tablets. But information was still extremely scarce. The printing press revolutionized the transfer of information in Europe in around 1438, and it would transform war, politics, and the world.

#5

The telegraph, a form of communication that extended across political boundaries, was developed in 1844. It was the start of a telecommunications revolution. By 1850, there were 12,000 miles of telegraph wire in the United States alone.

#6

The telegraph quickly became an important new tool of conflict, which would also transform it.
