War in Space

Imagine driving on an unfamiliar route and suddenly your GPS navigation cuts out. Later it becomes clear that this was due to a blackout of a satellite. If scenarios as encountered in works of science fiction were to become a new reality, how would humans experience and react to that change? This book takes a closer look at the consequences of a full-scale satellite blackout, an event that would impact countless aspects of everyday life. War fought in space is becoming increasingly likely in a politically tense world, and this book explores how such a conflict could manifest itself. More optimistically the book also assesses which technology could prevent the destruction of the systems which keep the world as we know it running.
