The modern economy is fundamentally different from those of the past five millennia. Professor Ennis shows how the transition to a digital future creates wonderful innovation but also has a dark side that needs our attention: the digital world has created a new, very civilized type of war, one that does not involve armies or guns but instead features bankers, optical fiber, algorithms and Birkenstock-wearing geniuses. Where digital battles are fought for foreign territory, no one dies. But in the digital war, private companies can take over and dominate foreign economic activity in ways that would be envied by Caesar and Napolean. The author argues that the expansion of internet businesses has created an ability to achieve the aims of war without the horrific consequences. Whether or not that is a problem is another matter.
