Through rich case studies on the United States, China, Russia, Israel, Iran, South Korea, Taiwan, and others, it shows how cyber power acts as a strategic equaliser, enabling revisionist, sanctioned, and small states to punch above their weight, even as highly digitised societies become increasingly vulnerable.
