Winning World War III by Kenneth James Hamer-Hodges examines the challenges facing modern computer science. The focus is the cost of cybersecurity and is the third book in a trilogy about Industrial Strength Computer Science. This volume addresses the global Cyber Warfare between democratic societies and authoritarian regimes. Ken delves into the shortcomings of traditional binary computers and proposes how Industrial Strength Computer Science ensures the survival of democracies in the digital age. Through a mix of historical context, technical detail, and futuristic vision, Hamer-Hodges argues for a complete overhaul of computer hardware to solve cybersecurity using the science of Alonzo Church to encapsulate the Turing Machine as expressed by the Church-Turing Thesis.
It is a compelling story blending technical depth and a clear message. It discusses the limitations of binary computers and points out the real-world consequences of straying from science. The CrowdStrike freeze in 2024, exemplifies the global disruption that faces industrial society. The imagery of these failures with a detailed critique of malware, hacking, and ransomware drives home the fragility of cyberspace we rely on every day. The solution is to implement the Church-Turing Thesis using the science of the Lambda Calculus. It is bold and revolutionary, but also practical when recognized as a fight for survival. Ken explains the technical and theoretical concepts, including the λ-calculus and symbolic computation you will find fascinating. However, those with an interest in the future of Cyber society will appreciate the thoroughness with which each topic is addressed. It leads to the book's philosophical tone when discussing the future of democracy in cyberspace. Hamer-Hodges links the survival of democratic ideals to technological evolution, highlighting how centralization in binary cyberspace leads to Orwellian dictatorships. His passionate defense of decentralization and the simple solution is a fresh perspective on how computer technology intersects with politics and the progress or failure of civilization. Ken's comparisons between failing computer systems and the fall of democratic institutions are chilling, and it makes the stakes of this book feel very real. Winning World War III is a thought-provoking and detailed exploration of the future of cybersecurity and its political ramifications. If you are a technologist, policy-maker, or a concerned citizen then this book is a must-read.
