In a world of accelerating unending change, perpetual surveillance,
and increasing connectivity, conflict has become ever more complex.
Wars are no longer limited to the traditional military conflict
domains—land, sea, air; even space and cyber space. The new
battlefield will be the cognitive domain and the new conflict a larger
contest for power; a contest for cognitive superiority. Written by
experts in military operations research and neuropsychology, this book
introduces the concept of cognitive superiority and provides the keys
to succeeding within a complex matrix where the only rules are the
laws of physics, access to information, and the boundaries of
cognition. The book describes the adversarial environment and how it
interacts with the ongoing, accelerating change that we are
experiencing, irrespective of adversaries. It talks about the
ascendant power of information access, pervasive surveillance,
personalized persuasion, and emerging new forms of cognition. It
profiles salient technologies and science, including persuasion
science, artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML),
surveillance technologies, complex adaptive systems, network science,
directed human modification, and biosecurity. Readers will learn about
human and machine cognition, what makes it tick, and why and how we
and our technologies are vulnerable. Following in the tradition of
Sun-Tsu and von Clausewitz, this book writes a new chapter in the
study of warfare and strategy. It is written for those who lead,
aspire to leadership, and those who teach or persuade, especially in
the fields of political science, military science, computer science,
and business.
