Conflict, Armed And Not, In The Social Media Age

Pete Souza/The White House

Countries prove all the time, through hacking and other means, that you can mess with your enemies without firing a shot.  The message is not lost on people who might otherwise be fighting wars. 

As journalist David Patrikarakos points out, war is a clash of narratives, and those narratives can be delivered by the internet, rather than bombs and bullets. 

He explains further in his book War in 140 Characters: How Social Media is Reshaping Conflict in the 21st Century.  David Patrikarakos is our guest on the air.
