Crimes of the future - Mark Goodman

In our hands is the Arabic version of the book FUTURE CRIMES (جرائم المستقبل) by its author Mark Goodman, in which he discusses the story of organized crime, pirates, rogue governments, local actors, and terrorists, all competing to exploit the latest technologies for their own benefit. Therefore, the subject of this book is not what happened yesterday or even what is happening today, and its focus will not be on the appropriate length you should use for your password, but rather on what we are heading towards in the future. The author says about his book: "Throughout my research journey, starting in the Los Angeles Police Department, and during my subsequent work with federal and international law enforcement organizations, I was able to uncover criminals who have surpassed the level of cybercrime as we know it today, relying on new emerging technologies such as robotics, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, 3D printing, and synthetic biology. However, my colleagues in the executive authority and government agencies I meet around the world often remain unaware of these shadowed technological developments, let alone the growing exploitation of them by organized crime and terrorist organizations alike. As someone who has dedicated his life to public security and public service, I am deeply concerned about the trends I see around me today. To this end, I founded the Future Crimes Institute, with the goal of leveraging my personal experiences as a field officer, investigator, and international analyst fighting terrorism, and most importantly, as someone from within Silicon Valley, to gather a group of like-minded experts to address the negative and positive effects of rapidly evolving technology. Beyond merely classifying new criminal innovations and technological vulnerabilities, this book is the way to combat the many threats awaiting us. Vigilant insight, as I see it, will enable us to anticipate tomorrow’s crimes and prevent them today, before reaching the point of no return. Future generations will look back and judge the efforts we make today to reduce these security threats and defend the spirit of technology, ensuring that ultimately it benefits humanity..." The book consists of eighteen chapters organized into three parts, titled as follows: Part One: The Calm Before the Storm, Part Two: The Future of Crime, Part Three: The Progress of Survival.
