Best-selling author and renowned security expert Bruce Schneier reveals the rise and risks of a new goliath: our massively networked, world-sized web.

We have created the ultimate hive-mind robot: an Internet of interconnected devices that senses, thinks and acts. Bruce Schneier calls it the "World-Sized Web and it includes everything from driverless cars to smart thermostats, from billboards that respond to specific people to drones equipped with their own behavioural algorithms. While the World-Sized Web carries enormous potential, Schneier argues that we are completely unprepared for the new vulnerabilities it brings. Forget data theft; cutting-edge digital attackers can now literally crash your car, pacemaker and home security system as well as everyone else´s. In Click Here to Kill Everybody, Schneier explores the risks and security implications of the World-Sized Web and lays out common-sense policies that will allow us to enjoy the benefits of this new omnipotent age without surrendering ourselves entirely to our own all-powerful creation.
