<i>‘Whilst we are increasingly aware of the critical nature of cyber systems globally, it’s rare to find a book that goes beyond a few of the more widely discussed themes. Yet, as this unique collection of different perspectives clearly shows, issues relating to cybersecurity are so multi-faceted and touch virtually every person on the planet. This important book, co-edited by three thought leaders, will help us better understand the significance of emerging concepts such as “data sovereignty” and “technological sovereignty”, and will contribute to the ongoing and necessary debates relating to future governance frameworks.’</i>

<i>‘The editors, Roy Balleste, Gilles Doucet, and Michelle Hanlon, and respectable authors provide a delightful guide for those of us who are working on the important aspects of the space-cyber nexus and a good introduction for those who want to learn about it. This is more than a good read!’</i>
