ABSTRACT
The fundamental weapon and target in I-War is information. It is the commodity which has to be manipulated to the advantage of those trying to influence events. The means of achieving this are manifold. Protagonists can attempt to directly alter data or to deprive competitors of access to it. The technology of information collection, storage, and dissemination can be compromised. Using other, subtler techniques, the way the data is interpreted can be changed by altering the context in which it is viewed.
