Technology will play a dominant role in future military preparedness and conflict. At the same time, it is vitally important to consider the ethical, social and cultural implications these emerging weapons systems precipitate. The overarching question is how we prepare for war while minimizing the need to deploy such devastating cyber and kinetic weapons.

During this Dakota Digital Discussion, Latiff will discuss his new book, Future Peace: Technology, Aggression and the Rush to War, which will be published on March 1, in the context articulated by his first book, Future War: Preparing for the New Global Battlefield.
