David E. Sanger | The Perfect Weapon
In 2015, Russian hackers tunneled deep into the computer systems of the Democratic National Committee, and the subsequent leaks of the emails they stole may have changed the course of American democracy. But to see the DNC hacks as Trump-centric is to miss the bigger, more important story: Within that same year, the Russians not only had broken into networks at the White House and the State Department, but had placed implants in American electrical and nuclear plants that could give them the power to switch off vast swaths of the country. Moving from the White House Situation Room to the dens of Chinese government hackers to the boardrooms of Silicon Valley, New York Times national security correspondent David Sanger reveals a world coming face-to-face with the perils of technological revolution. "The Perfect Weapon"is the dramatic story of how great and small powers alike slipped into a new era of constant sabotage, misinformation, and fear, in which everyone is a target.
David Sanger will be in conversation with Jim Galloway, Political Reporter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
