520    "A deeply researched investigation that reveals how the 
       United States is like a spider at the heart of an 
       international web of surveillance and control, which it 
       weaves in the form of globe--spanning networks such as 
       fiber optic cables and obscure payment systems America's 
       security state first started to weaponize these channels 
       after 9/11, when they seemed like necessities to combat 
       terrorism--but now they're a matter of course. 
       Multinational companies like AT&T and Citicorp build hubs,
       which they use to make money, but which the government can
       also deploy as choke points. Today's headlines about trade
       wars, sanctions, and technology disputes are merely 
       tremors hinting at far greater seismic shifts beneath the 
       surface. Slowly but surely, Washington has turned the most
       vital pathways of the world economy into tools of 
       domination over foreign businesses and countries, whether 
       they are rivals or allies, allowing the U.S. to maintain 
       global supremacy. In the process, we have sleepwalked into
       a new struggle for empire. Using true stories, field-
       defining findings, and original reporting, Henry Farrell 
       and Abraham Newman show how the most ordinary aspects of 
       the post-Cold War economy have become realms of subterfuge
       and coercion, and what we must do to ensure that this new 
       arms race doesn't spiral out of control"--|cProvided by
