This week, Brookings hosted a book launch with Harvard Law Professor Gabriella Blum and co-author Benjamin Wittes for their new book, The Future of Violence: Robots and Germs, Hackers and Drones—---Confronting A New Age of Threat. The panel, which also featured Brookings Senior Fellow William Galston and the ACLU’s Ben Wizner, explored the book’s themes surrounding the potential dangers of modern technology in a world of many-to-many threats and defenses. What does technological proliferation mean for the framework of state and global security? How should we think about the interaction of liberty, security, and privacy? And, does this world of empowered individuals challenge the philosophical foundations of the liberal state? It's all right here on the Lawfare Podcast. For more on The Future of Violence, see Ben's Lawfare post from earlier this week.
