Summary:
"Journalist David Patrikarakos has reported on war zones from the Congo to Ukraine. Yet, it has become increasingly apparent that simultaneous battles are now being waged on
social
media
platforms-- and this virtual warfare is only gaining in importance, becoming every bit as real and often more significant than the fighting on the ground. The traditional concept of war as a clear, military battle between two identifiable parties is dying, if not already dead. Instead, war is a clash of narratives, and the line between
conflict
and politics has become so blurred as to be almost indistinguishable. War in 140 Characters explores
how
social
media
has expanded the arena of
conflict
into the virtual world. Using his unprecedented access to key players, Patrikarakos brings the characters that are shaping modern warfare to vivid light. State militaries now employ
social
media
warriors to influence the narrative online; paid Russian trolls flood the internet with tweets to create a sense of 'authentic' support for the annexation of Crimea; ISIL recruits via Skype; private civilians can single-handedly take on the world's major powers using the extraordinary capabilities of open-source
social
media
platforms. Whether you are a president or a terrorist, if you don't understand
how
to deploy the power of
media
effectively, you may win the odd battle, but you will lose a twenty-first-century war. War in 140 Characters provides an essential new narrative for modern warfare, exploring
how
social
media
has transformed the way that we fight, win, and consume wars, and what that means for the world going forward."--Jacket.
