About the Book

Rewiring Democracy examines the intersection of technology, cybersecurity, and democratic processes. Authored by Schneier—a renowned cryptographer, privacy advocate, and Harvard Kennedy School lecturer—the book analyzes how digital infrastructure influences political engagement, voting systems, and public trust. While not a technical deep-dive into vulnerabilities (e.g., CVE-related threats), it provides a strategic framework for policymakers, security professionals, and technologists assessing the risks and opportunities of digital democracy.

Key Themes for Security Professionals

Though not a traditional cybersecurity manual, the book addresses critical issues relevant to the field, including:

  • Threat modeling for electoral systems (e.g., disinformation campaigns, voter database integrity)
  • Policy gaps in digital governance (e.g., regulation of social media platforms, algorithmic transparency)
  • Resilience strategies for democratic institutions (e.g., secure communication channels, incident response planning)

Next Steps

Security practitioners and policymakers interested in the societal implications of cybersecurity may find value in the book’s analysis. The $5 price point presents a low-barrier opportunity to access Schneier’s insights, though the sale’s end date is unspecified. Readers are advised to verify availability on their preferred platform.
