Book review The Age of Unpeace: How Connectivity Causes Conflict by Mark Leonard, Bantam Press, 2021, 240 pages

Abstract

The book The Age of Unpeace: How Connectivity Causes Conflict by Mark Leonard, published in 2021, outlines one major thought: the context that offered us more connection, is the same that drove us apart, into an era of “unwar” and “unpeace”. As the author stresses, in this current state, connections that bound the world together are also driving it apart (p.11), leading to a blurred distinction between the notion of war or peace, while connections between people and countries are weaponized in various ways.
