Garfinkel is a pioneer in digital forensics, with a career in technology spanning starting a local internet service provider in 1995 to academia and government service. Garfinkel holds a Ph.D. in computer science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was a tenured professor of computer science at the Naval Postgraduate School, and now is a Senior Data Scientist at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, a part-time faculty member at the George Washington University in Washington, DC, and a member of the Association for Computing Machinery's US Technology Policy Committee (ACM USTPC). He has authored and edited 16 books, over 100 scholarly articles, and is a fellow of both the ACM and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). This book is written in Simson Garfinkel's personal capacity and does not reflect the views or policy of the U.S. Government, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Department of Commerce, or the U.S. Census Bureau.

'This book is broad, deep, and accessible - a rare combination in a single volume. This book opened my eyes to the complex scenarios that make up the future, and then gave me frameworks for understanding them. Highly recommended!' Adam Shostack, author of Threat Modeling: Designing for Security, and the co-author of The New School of Information Security
