#America goes on cyber-offence - The Economist

America’s new cyber-strategy, published on March 6th. The document is short—7 crisp pages (including the front & back cover). And it is light on detail. But its pugilistic tone & emphasis on offence feel very much of the moment. The #strategy marks a significant departure from how America has approached #cyberspace , pivoting firmly from defence to a more #aggressive posture.

Icon of Colten! I struggled with colors for the lighting a bit on this one. I think the background turned out kinda rad.

I take commissions for icons like this, if anyone is interested, please DM me.

What I want to know, though, is what are the contemporaries of this work, and its descendants. What was next to it on the shelf at Borders Store #1 when I pulled it off the shelf to buy it? Who will nod knowingly when I pull it out of my bookshelf, dust it off, and flip through to find some passage that I might remember? What should go next to it on my own shelves, real or imagined?
