I stumbled across this on Bruce Schneier's blog. It's a very interesting analysis, but what I think is missing are references to current research in sociology and psychology. It seems to be primarily a sociological model from the perspective of a cybersecurity expert, without any real connection to those disciplines.
That doesn't mean it's any less relevant. Conversely, there are countless analyses from psychology and sociology that examine the implications of software on our world without a technical background. Even though we've become quite adept at identifying individual symptoms arising from (social media) services, the fields of computer science and psychology still appear largely isolated from one another.
Given the current global situation, which has clearly been damaged by the internet and the exploits described in the analysis, closer interdisciplinary collaboration is urgently needed.
