'This well-framed book offers an invaluable collection of incisive analyses of a defining feature of 21st-century national security intelligence. Its publication could not be more timely, coming at a point when rapid and multi-dimensional technological innovations are providing significant opportunities for western intelligence agencies but also presenting difficult challenges, and during a period of international tension and instability in part sustained (or, even, created) by international actors’ utilisation of new technologies.'
