What does it mean to live in a world where our most essential systems are digital—and vulnerable?

This book takes readers beyond the technical aspects of cybersecurity to explore how the management of digital risk shapes politics, policy and everyday life. Drawing on case studies from corporate boardrooms to international affairs, it reveals the social and political logics driving the fast-growing cyber risk industry.

From insurance markets to resilience planning, the book unpacks how these practices order people, places and possibilities—and why understanding them is vital for navigating the promises and perils of our digital future.
