In Part Two of LikeWar, we focus on how technology and war first came to be linked. Before the internet, the printing press, the telegram and the radio all transformed from means of communication to essential weapons for fighting - and winning - wars.  
This episode features the expertise of Dr. Robert Citino, Senior Historian at the World War II Museum in New Orleans. 
This series is adapted from the book LikeWar, written by series narrator Peter Singer and series contributor Emerson Brooking. To learn more about their research and defense work, you can find them on Twitter @peterwsinger and @etbrooking.

Part Three: The End of Forgetting

Through the ages, the boundaries between war, technology and politics have blurred. Now, terrorists livestream their brutal attacks online. Twitter “wars” produce real‑world casualties. Viral misinformation influences elections and alters the very fate of nations. Based on the book of the same name, LikeWar explores the ways in which technology, and especially social media, has been weaponized, arming the internet and the billions of people who use it every day. The series is narrated by New York Times Bestselling author P.W. Singer, described in the Wall Street Journal as “the premier futurist in the national-security environment”, with contributions from his co-author, Emerson T. Brooking.
