Riassunto:

Everything is a computer. Ovens are computers that make things hot; refrigerators are computers that keep things cold. These computers from home thermostats to chemical plants are all online. The Internet, once a virtual abstraction, can now sense and touch the physical world.As we open our lives to this future, often called the Internet of Things, we are beginning to see its enormous potential in ideas like driverless cars, smart cities, and personal agents equipped with their own behavioral algorithms. But every knife cuts two ways.Click Here to Kill EverybodyAfter exploring the full implications of a world populated by hyperconnected devices, Schneier reveals the hidden web of technical, political, and market forces that underpin the pervasive insecurities of today. He then offers common-sense choices for companies, governments, and individuals that can allow us to enjoy the benefits of this omnipotent age without falling prey to its vulnerabilities.From principles for a more resilient Internet of Things, to a recipe for sane government regulation and oversight, to a better way to understand a truly new environment, Schneier s vision is required reading for anyone invested in human flourishing.
