Military history; Terrorism, armed struggle

What if the next world war has already begun-and you're living in it without knowing?

This book reveals the invisible war being waged through code as weapon, where governments no longer need tanks or missiles to dominate. Instead, they deploy state-sponsored hacking, mass surveillance, and psychological manipulation to infiltrate everything from your power grid to your perception of truth. This is not a future threat-it's a digital battlefield already surrounding you.

Through gripping real-world accounts-from the Stuxnet sabotage to the SolarWinds breach-it exposes how nations conduct cyber warfare to reshape geopolitics, collapse economies, and erode the very idea of sovereignty. You'll uncover the hidden infrastructure of conflict: secret cyber commands, silent infiltrations, and battles waged on your personal devices.

This book is essential for: Readers of nation-state cyberattacks and modern military strategy; Thinkers intrigued by the blurred lines between peace and war; Citizens, journalists, technologists, and policymakers navigating a world of constant digital threat; Anyone who's ever asked: ""Who's really in control of my information?""

What you'll gain is not just knowledge-but clarity. You'll see how cyberwarfare and disinformation are used to destabilize societies from within, why geopolitical hacking analysis is now as critical as conventional intelligence, and how your own behavior feeds into global conflict systems.

Urgent, illuminating, and unforgettable, this is a field guide to the real wars of the 21st century-fought not for land, but for data, influence, and control. If you care about how governments hack, what they're doing behind the screens, and how power now moves through digital battlefield terrain, this is the book you cannot afford to miss.

Julian Rehn writes to illuminate the hidden systems shaping our digital world-where silence can be strategy and code becomes conflict. With a lifelong fascination for surveillance, secrecy, and the psychology of power, his work fuses deep research with narrative insight. He is drawn to the places where history ends and speculation begins-those fault lines where nations redefine war, truth bends under bandwidth, and the frontlines shift from borders to browsers. Rehn's writing is as much an investigation as it is an invitation: to look closer, think deeper, and question what peace really means when everything is connected.
