Summary
Cyberspace is woven into the fabric of modern life. It transcends boundaries, is dynamic, offers low barriers to entry, affords a certain amount of anonymity, enables mass surveillance by governments and corporations, and is essential for just about everything. Within just the past few decades, people everywhere have become as dependent on this online world for their daily activities as they are dependent on the physical world for human activities. The introductory chapter defines cyberspace, considers the importance of cybersecurity, and offers an overview of each chapter.
