About this book

Summary

Your smart fridge is listening. It knows more about your country's nuclear policy than you do. This is not a prediction. It’s a threat assessment. Welcome to the new age of espionage, where the game hasn't changed, but the playing field is now inside your home, your car, and your mind. Forget hollow trees and microfilm; the modern dead drop is a Yelp review, and the new cipher is written in DNA. In The Glasshouse, Allain Verdugo strips away the science fiction to reveal the terrifyingly plausible future of intelligence gathering, cyber warfare, and covert operations. Drawing on a stunning array of speculative technologies and real-world strategic thinking, this book is a field manual for surviving a world where paranoia is just a heightened state of awareness. This is your guide to the invisible architecture of control being built around you. Inside, you will discover: How intelligence agencies use AI like the "ODIN" system to predict coups by analyzing everything from motorcade routes to family pet relocations. The terrifying reality of "cognitive echo mapping," a technology that can reconstruct your thoughts from the distortions they create in ambient WiFi signals. Why the 2031 Reykjavik Summit proved that smart refrigerators could form a mesh network to spy on classified conversations through their ice cube makers. The principles of "Holographic Defense," creating vast decoy national infrastructures to trap and bankrupt enemy hackers. How operatives are trained for the future with "Chaos Chess," a game where the laws of physics change every three moves. The Glasshouse is more than a book; it's an inoculation against the comfortable lies of modern security. It will change the way you see your phone, your government, and the world itself.

Where once spies worried about tapped phone lines, they now face genetically modified insects with radar arrays, AI-generated scent-based phishing attacks, and quantum computers that can shatter modern encryption in seconds. This book takes you deep inside this new wilderness of mirrors, revealing the tradecraft you need to understand to simply navigate the 21st century. A Glimpse Inside the Table of Contents: Chapter 3: The AI Revolution in Intelligence: Learn how AI is used not just to find needles in haystacks, but to manufacture convincing fake haystacks—like the "Helsinki Fog" incident, where an AI generated 18 million phantom troop movements to paralyze an adversary's analytical systems. Chapter 6: Cyber Warfare and Digital Dominance: Uncover the next generation of cyberattacks, from AI-deepfake CEOs authorizing fraudulent trades to social credit-powered DDoS attacks that mobilize a nation's citizens against a target. Chapter 8: The Evolving Human Operative: Discover why the human agent is more critical than ever, trained in cognitive flexibility to outwit superior AI by using asymmetric strategies, like feeding an enemy AI 14th-century Byzantine political theory through hacked traffic lights. Chapter 10: The Ethical Minefield: Confront the terrifying new questions of our age. Is "cognitive liberty" a human right? Can a drone unionize? At what point does a surveillance mosquito become a war crime? This is your final warning. The future is here, and it’s watching.
