Recognized DC Technologist Releases Political Commentary Book "Weapons of Mass Delusion"

Who says geeks can’t see beyond the glare of their workstations?

In a stunning departure from his previous books on computer security ("The Art of Information Warfare" and "Incident Response,") technologist and popular techno-pundit Richard Forno contends that the real national emergency facing America isn’t terrorism or weapons of mass destruction but the ongoing problems within American society that many Americans and their elected leaders refuse to admit to themselves.

From organized religion (“God, Inc.,”) and public education (“Schoolyard Stalag,”) Beltway double-speak (“Spinning The Body Politic,”) the American mass media (“NewsPorn,”) something he calls “Homeland Insecurity” and more, Forno provides a critical, curmudgeonly, and sometimes humorous look at many of the institutions and mindsets influencing America’s society and wonders why the American public isn’t taking a more active role in staying informed and assisting in the governance of their great nation.

“Americans need to stop letting others – corporations, media personalities, religions, political spin doctors, and the herd mentality - do the thinking for them,” Forno says. “Otherwise, ‘freedom’ in America means nothing more than a few pre-determined options provided by others to ensure their ability to influence society for their benefit and not ours.”

In his lectures and commentary, Richard Forno is known as someone unafraid to confront reality in a dynamic, understandable, and entertaining fashion. With "Weapons of Mass Delusion," Forno redirects his energy from the technology world toward the real world to raise public awareness and ignite debate on the issues affecting America during one of its most crucial moments in history.

"Weapons of Mass Delusion" is available in hardcover and paperback for $22.95 and $14.95 respectively from Potomac View Press through http://www.rickonline.org. Author information may be found at http://www.rickonline.org.
