Nowadays, the tragedy of war is mediated through technology. It is no longer mediated through a human being with moral responsibilities.

For the time being, technologies are colonizing our body through implants. We started with human implants, but research leads us to microtechnological implants.

We have already seen some instances of systemic risk in recent times in the Asian financial crisis. But what sparked off the Asian financial crisis? Automated trading programmes!

The research on cyberspace is a quest for God. To be God. To be here and there.

I believe that the politics of intervention and the Kosovo war prompted a fresh resumption of the arms race worldwide.

For instance, in 1999, Bill Gates not only published a new book on work at the speed of thought but also detailed how Microsoft's 'Falconview' software would enable the destruction of bridges in Kosovo.

'Cyberwar' has nothing to do with the destruction brought about by bombs and grenades and so on.
