How a science fiction obsession led me to psychological war.
I've spent the past three years researching and writing a book about the history of psychological warfare in the United States. It’s called Stories Are Weapons: Psychological Warfare and the American Mind, and it comes out on June 4. The subject crept up on me, and not for the reasons you might think.

I tend to think we need more of this kind of thing.
Yes, it can be morally dubious, but it seems a better use of resources (in terms of cost/benefit ratio and in terms of splash effect beyond the target.)
But PsyOps not Bombs isn't exactly a cool leftist bumper sticker.
