NEW YORK TIMES and WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER

ONE OF THE WASHINGTON POST'S 10 BEST BOOKS OF 2015


One of the world’s leading authorities on global security, Marc Goodman takes readers deep into the digital underground to expose the alarming ways criminals, corporations, and even countries are using new and emerging technologies against you—and how this makes everyone more vulnerable than ever imagined. 

Technological advances have benefited our world in immeasurable ways, but there is an ominous flip side: our technology can be turned against us. Hackers can activate baby monitors to spy on families, thieves are analyzing social media posts to plot home invasions, and stalkers are exploiting the GPS on smart phones to track their victims’ every move. We all know today’s criminals can steal identities, drain online bank accounts, and wipe out computer servers, but that’s just the beginning. To date, no computer has been created that could not be hacked—a sobering fact given our radical dependence on these machines for everything from our nation’s power grid to air traffic control to financial services. 
     Yet, as ubiquitous as technology seems today, just over the horizon is a tidal wave of scientific progress that will leave our heads spinning. If today’s Internet is the size of a golf ball, tomorrow’s will be the size of the sun. Welcome to the Internet of Things, a living, breathing, global information grid where every physical object will be online. But with greater connections come greater risks. Implantable medical devices such as pacemakers can be hacked to deliver a lethal jolt of electricity and a car’s brakes can be disabled at high speed from miles away. Meanwhile, 3-D printers can produce AK-47s, bioterrorists can download the recipe for Spanish flu, and cartels are using fleets of drones to ferry drugs across borders.
     With explosive insights based upon a career in law enforcement and counterterrorism, Marc Goodman takes readers on a vivid journey through the darkest recesses of the Internet. Reading like science fiction, but based in science fact, Future Crimes explores how bad actors are primed to hijack the technologies of tomorrow, including robotics, synthetic biology, nanotechnology, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence. These fields hold the power to create a world of unprecedented abundance and prosperity. But the technological bedrock upon which we are building our common future is deeply unstable and, like a house of cards, can come crashing down at any moment.
     Future Crimes provides a mind-blowing glimpse into the dark side of technological innovation and the unintended consequences of our connected world. Goodman offers a way out with clear steps we must take to survive the progress unfolding before us. Provocative, thrilling, and ultimately empowering, Future Crimes will serve as an urgent call to action that shows how we can take back control over our own devices and harness technology’s tremendous power for the betterment of humanity—before it’s too late.

Marc Goodman's book is essential reading for anyone getting lost in the feel good world of technology utopia. From the cynical profiteering of the social media and network giants like Facebook and Google to the vast empire of cyber criminals. This book exposes that this is cyberspace today, not some tomorrow. Two major points I take from this book are that few are transforming the world for the good of humankind, but for profit, and perhaps more importantly and disturbingly, these same people are not building or even thinking of creating high level security systems to protect against hacking by any number of intruders. Mr Goodman points out that the more we integrate into the internet of things, that the security of our technological systems is determined by the weakest link in that system. This is profoundly unsettling and so it should be. This is not to say that we are entering a wonderful period of advancement, but to point out the dangerously absent integration of high security systems into any and all technology should be a necessary part of the development of such products and services. This book should be discussed far and wide on Futurist media.

I've known Marc Goodman since 2010 and have had the pleasure of seeing this book evolve from concept to coffee table. Marc's in person presentations are dynamic, funny, eye-opening and sometimes downright creepy. Marc's character shines through in this book. It's an encyclopedic cataloguing of threats and vulnerabilities in the digital age, past, present, and future. It's shocking how vulnerable we all are and how simple it is for anyone with intent to gain access and cause harm. Marc's not a pessimist, however, even with his long experience in law enforcement, just a realist. By sharing some stories, his experience, and some practical security tips, he's doing what he can to help people recognize and minimize their personal or organizational risk. It's a book that's well worth the price just as a reference. And if the advice is taken to decrease your digital risk, it could pay out a sizable dividend. Highly recommended.

An incredibly detailed look and analysis at data collection and distribution on the internet. I study this type of material and thought I had a pretty deep understanding but learned a lot more from this book. I read Bruce Schneiers book "Data and Goliath" and that was an extensive review of this type of material but Future Crimes had more material and depth. Quite eye opening.

Definitely the most thorough and concise book I have read to date. Read it if you want to be shocked about how much of your personal information is on the internet and is being bought and sold behind the scenes.
