Cognitive Inoculation: Winn Schwartau and the Metawar

Listen Later

Welcome back to The FAIK Files!

This week, we're sharing our interview with Winn Schwartau!

Winn Schwartau is a respected authority in information security and one of the earliest voices to warn about the risks of cyberwarfare. With a career spanning decades, he’s written extensively on topics like critical infrastructure vulnerabilities, time-based security, and the human factors behind digital threats. His work has shaped the way governments and organizations think about cybersecurity today.

You should check out his book The Art & Science of Metawar: How to Coexist With AI-Driven Reality Distortion, Disinformation, & Addiction in the Metaverse!
