Emergent information technologies and enabling policies for counter-terrorism
Robert L. Popp, John Yen
Wiley-Interscience; John Wiley [distributor]
Popp and Yen have presented a the final reviews from a series of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) programs with some additional emergent math models and three chapters on Law, Privacy and the need for legal standard in the application of the emergent technologies.  A better approach may have been to put the chapters on Law, Privacy and so on first.  Then, to allow or require the authors of the remaining chapters to consider and comment on the effect of law on technology, as well as technology on law.

This is a fine, if somewhat dated, review of emerging information technologies.  The explanations vary from excellent to prolix.  The book is as overpriced as most textbooks and may find use as an upper level survey course on the presented material.
