Brick Moon Fictions third yearly annual of amazing speculative fiction short stories! We are bombarded by information on a daily basis. Individually we process this information and our brains construct a narrative that forms the very basis of our identity. But who controls the information? How is it delivered? This year Brick Moon Fictions writers tackled these questions on multiple fronts. This collection of stories ask who we are, how we relate to one another and how do we confront...

"Andreas Krieg examines how state and nonstate actors weaponize narratives in the information space to subvert a target audience or government. One of the most important contributions of the work is his argument that these subversive information operations can achieve strategic, not just tactical effects, through a six-stage process. Subversive information operations rely on networks consisting of a range of virtual, human, and organizational surrogates who help a patron to spread its narratives to subvert the target. This type of subversion is aimed at undermining a community's trust in authority, most notably those established authorities that produce, vet, and disseminate information and knowledge. The subversion of trust between community and authority may eventually threaten sociopolitical cohesion and can mobilize unrest both in the virtual and physical space. After a conceptual discussion, Krieg closely examines subversion campaigns by two states in particular, Russia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Krieg concludes by offering recommendations about how vulnerable states and communities can become more resilient"--

"The US lacks a sufficient lexicon for fully comprehending cognitive threats as the character of warfare and conflict changes in the information age. The current lexicon of cognitive domain terms--propaganda, disinformation, information operations, MISO, PSYOP, military deception, and cognitive hacking--is insufficient for identifying and communicating intricate cognitive threats and for formulating an appropriate strategy in response to them. This study explores the value of a newly proposed term--Weaponized Narrative--first coined by Braden Allenby in January 2017. The study modifies Allenby's original conception, contending that Weaponized Narrative is best understood as the use of story-based communication to foment political and social schisms with the intent of subverting an adversaries' institutions, identities, and/or will. The objective of this project is primarily twofold: First, it aims to extract the distinct attributes of Weaponized Narrative. This aim is accomplished by comparing and contrasting the contextual definition provided above with other common terminology used to describe and understand the cognitive battlespace. Second, the project considers how these qualities explain recent Russian cognitive influence activities in the US. Two sets of cases are examined, including: 1) Russia's meddling in the US 2016 Presidential Election; and 2) Russia's manipulation of pre-existing socio-political divides, with examples found in cases like Black Lives Matter and Hearts of Texas versus the United Muslims of America. The paper concludes with a discussion about how Weaponized Narrative presents a unique challenge to democracies that struggle to thwart foreign meddling while preserving democratic values of equality and liberty. Additionally, it proposes a revival of an appropriately-scoped entity that can actively lead, manage, and optimize the US information instrument of power."--Abstract.

How globalized information networks can be used for strategic advantage Until recently, globalization was viewed, on balance, as an inherently good thing that would benefit people and societies nearly everywhere. Now there is growing concern that some countries will use their position in globalized networks to gain undue influence over other societies through their dominance of information and financial networks, a concept known as "weaponized interdependence." In exploring the conditions under which China, Russia, and the United States might be expected to weaponize control of information and manipulate the global economy, the contributors to this volume challenge scholars and practitioners to think differently about foreign economic policy, national security, and statecraft for the twenty-first century. The book addresses such questions as: What areas of the global economy are most vulnerable to unilateral control of information and financial networks? How sustainable is the use of weaponized interdependence? What are the possible responses from targeted actors? And how sustainable is the open global economy if weaponized interdependence becomes a default tool for managing international relations?

A leading foreign correspondent looks at how social media has transformed the modern battlefield, and how wars are fought Modern warfare is a war of narratives, where bullets are fired both physically and virtually. Whether you are a president or a terrorist, if you don't understand how to deploy the power of social media effectively you may win the odd battle but you will lose a twenty-first century war. Here, journalist David Patrikarakos draws on unprecedented access to key players to provide a new narrative for modern warfare. He travels thousands of miles across continents to meet a de-radicalized female member of ISIS recruited via Skype, a liberal Russian in Siberia who takes a job manufacturing "Ukrainian" news, and many others to explore the way social media has transformed the way we fight, win, and consume wars-and what this means for the world going forward.

Islamic extremism is the dominant security concern of many contemporary governments, spanning the industrialized West to the developing world. Narrative Landmines explores how rumors fit into and extend narrative systems and ideologies, particularly in the context of terrorism, counter-terrorism, and extremist insurgencies. Its concern is to foster a more sophisticated understanding of how oral and digital cultures work alongside economic, diplomatic, and cultural factors that influence the struggles between states and non-state actors in the proverbial battle of hearts and minds. Beyond face-to-face communication, the authors also address the role of new and social media in the creation and spread of rumors. As narrative forms, rumors are suitable to a wide range of political expression, from citizens, insurgents, and governments alike, and in places as distinct as Singapore, Iraq, and Indonesia—the case studies presented for analysis. The authors make a compelling argument for understanding rumors in these contexts as “narrative IEDs,” low-cost, low-tech weapons that can successfully counter such elaborate and expansive government initiatives as outreach campaigns or strategic communication efforts. While not exactly the same as the advanced technological systems or Improvised Explosive Devices to which they are metaphorically related, narrative IEDs nevertheless operate as weapons that can aid the extremist cause.
