{"product_id":"blood-in-the-cloud-jordan-ashford-9789390349074","title":"Blood in the Cloud: How Big Tech Quietly Took Over the Future of War","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe most decisive shift in modern conflict is invisible. Battles now run on rented servers, predictive models, and global data pipes owned by private entities-turning code, contracts, and uptime into instruments of power. This is a clear-eyed, accessible investigation of cloud warfare and how it is quietly redefining who commands force, who is accountable, and what citizens must guard to preserve digital sovereignty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrounded in history, policy, and systems thinking, it reveals how states increasingly lean on private military infrastructure to run logistics, intelligence, and targeting; how algorithmic command shapes decisions at speed and scale; and how everyday platforms double as surveillance infrastructure. Instead of hype or alarmism, it offers a rigorous map of incentives, dependencies, and risks-the first practical lens on the emerging cloud-military complex and the wider geopolitics of the cloud that now binds allies, adversaries, and civilians alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt for thoughtful readers-policy professionals, journalists, technologists, and engaged citizens-it delivers concrete clarity without jargon. Inside, you'll encounter: - How subscription models and service-level agreements make outsourced defense both irresistibly convenient and dangerously sticky; - Why jurisdiction, data location, and vendor lock-in complicate oversight, deterrence, and democratic control; - What new checks, disclosures, and procurement norms can restore balance between security and rights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the end, you'll have a durable mental model for navigating technology and war today: how infrastructure decides outcomes, how incentives shape strategy, and which questions to ask whenever a system claims to make us safer. A cyberwar analysis book for real-world decision-makers, it replaces noise with understanding-so readers can see the levers of power hidden in plain sight and act with foresight, not fear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jordan Ashford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9390349079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789390349074\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vij Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Jordan Ashford","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48874492428543,"sku":"9789390349074","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blood-in-the-cloud-jordan-ashford-9789390349074","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
