Sneakers data war

by ccManager
Commentary summary:
War is about information, not bullets

Text Commentary:

In the emotional climax of Sneakers, two archetypal black-hat/white-hat hackers discuss the power of information to overshadow the apparatus of physical warfare. "There's a war out there….a world war and it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear; how we work, what we think. It's all about the information." Should the technological elite embrace their megalomania or walk away?
