I recently reread Robert Heinlein’s The Moon is a Harsh Mistress and was struck by the depiction of CYBER WARFARE and ASYMMETRIC PRECISION GLOBAL STRIKE in the book.
– SPOILERS AHEAD –
Like the time Mannie has Mike play with the Warden’s atmosphere control – SCADA attack? Indeed, Mike is in effect a giant SCADA for the moon….
Having Mike control all communications – INTERNET censorship?
Having Mike impersonate others – Identity theft?
Using rocks as WMD placed precisely on target – Asymmetric Weapons and Precision Global Strike?
These are just a few. Go back and read the book yourself and see how – in 1965 and 1966 – Robert Heinlein was already predicting warfare of today (and maybe still tomorrow).
