No missiles are flying or guns firing, but the US is engaged in warfare with China and other nations. It’s hackers, not soldiers, who are on the front lines. The Military-Internet Complex is a growing part of America’s defense budget…with intimate ties to private industry. In his new book, @ War, Shane Harris writes that “The armies of nations will inevitably meet one another on the cyber battlefield. But the armies of corporations will meet there, too.” We speak with Harris, a senior correspondent at the Daily Beast, and with cyber-warrior Shawn Henry, president of CrowdStrike.
