"Individuals and civil society now participate in global politics in new ways, but sovereign states can do astonishing and terrifying things that no collection of citizens or subjects can carry out. We will all be caught in the fallout as the great powers, and many of the lesser ones, attack, surveil, influence, steal from and trade with each other."  -Dr. Adam Segal from "The Hacked World Order"
