On Thursday, September 24, the World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh kicks off its three-part fall series on cybersecurity with an illuminating look at cyber warfare in a program entitled: Will the Next World War Start in Cyber Space? P. W. Singer, recently named one of the 10 most influential voices in the world on cybersecurity, will explore the hot button issue of state-sponsored cyber attacks.

Singer, a Strategist and Senior Fellow at the New America Foundation, was recently described by The Wall Street Journal as “one of Washington’s pre-eminent futurists.”  His book, Cybersecurity and Cyberwar: What Everyone Needs to Know, has been added to the U.S. Navy and U.S. Army professional reading lists, and his first work of fiction, Ghost Fleet: A Novel of the Next World War, debuted to rave reviews this summer.
