By demonstrating that the American public is being coerced by a threat that has been blown out of proportion, this book discusses how the notion of cyberwar instills a crisis mentality that discourages formal risk assessment, making the public anxious and hence susceptible to ill-conceived solutions. With content that challenges conventional notions regarding cyber security, Behold a pale farce covers topics, including cybercrime; modern espionage; mass-surveillance systems; and the threats facing infrastructure targets such as the Federal Reserve, the stock exchange, and telecommunications, in a way that provides objective analysis rather than advocacy.;
