I read Alas, Babylon when it first came out when I was in high school. I recently reread it and it holds up well. The big difference is that we now carry cell phones. The threat of nuclear war is still with us and has been since about 1948. I also watched On the Beach which deals with post-war life.

What the DOJ wants to do is deny the bad guys resources and their platform for giving orders to their troops. Notice that the DOJ has the ability to unlock systems that have been locked by attackers. This denies the ransom demands.

I just watched the atty gen do a presentation on this. Great work. In the 19th century, the cavalry came to the rescue, now we have computer systems. Notice that the ransomware attacks involved hundreds of millions of dollars.

We are getting less civilized.

I read non-fiction to learn about a specific subject.
