Paperback. There is a precise moment when a civilisation stops understanding the war it is fighting. In the summer of 1914, European governments activated mechanisms of alliance and mobilisation that no one knew how to stop anymore, and in thirty-seven days turned the assassination of an archduke into the greatest catastrophe the continent had ever seen. No one wanted it that way. No one had the conceptual tools to understand what they were building. We are back in that moment. The war of our time is not declared, not seen and never ends. It has no geographical fronts, no recognisable uniforms. It strikes hospitals and power grids, manipulates elections, paralyses economies, silences dissidents, rewrites reality. It is fought in the submarine cables that carry ninety-five per cent of global communications, in the control systems of nuclear power plants, in the phones we keep in our pockets, in the democratic processes we still insist on calling free. It began decades ago. We are losing it without knowing it. The Invisible War is the story of that war: from Stuxnet, the first cyber weapon in history, which in 2010 destroyed Iranian nuclear centrifuges without firing a single shot, to the planned blackouts that plunged Ukraine into darkness in the middle of winter, the systematic interference in Western democracies, the artificial intelligence that has reduced the cost of lying at industrial scale to zero, and the Chinese robots that in twelve months went from folk dances to martial acrobatics in front of a billion spectators, while the world applauded without understanding what it was really watching. But this book is not only a chronicle of what has already happened. It is an investigation into the categories we have lost: the distinction between peace and war, the border as the limit of sovereignty, truth as the common ground of democratic debate. Three pillars on which we have built Western civilisation over the last four centuries, and which the digital revolution is eroding at a speed our institutions are not yet able to measure. Raffaele Di Marzio has spent more than twenty years inside the systems that manage these risks: banks, critical infrastructures, European regulatory bodies. He writes from that position with the frankness of someone who knows the mechanisms from the inside and has stopped finding what he sees reassuring. He does not offer easy solutions, because easy solutions are the first form of disinformation. He offers something rarer and more necessary: the tools to understand. The facts described in this book existed before they were written. They will continue to exist after you have finished reading it. The difference, now, is you. This item is printed on demand.

There is a precise moment when a civilisation stops understanding the war it is fighting. We are living ours.
In 1914, Europe took thirty-seven days to turn the assassination of an archduke into the greatest catastrophe in its history. No one wanted it. No one managed to see it in time. Today the war has changed shape again: it is not declared, it is not seen and it does not end.
It has no fronts and no uniforms. It shuts down hospitals and power grids. It manipulates elections. It empties bank accounts. It turns the phone in our pocket into the eyes and ears of a stranger. It is fought in the undersea cables that carry 95% of the world's communications, in the software of power stations, in the processes we still insist on calling democratic. It began decades ago. We are losing it without realising.
The Invisible War tells that war like a thriller and documents it like a report: Stuxnet, the cyberweapon that in 2010 destroyed Iranian nuclear centrifuges without a single shot; the blackouts that left Ukraine in the dark in the depth of winter; the systematic interference in Western democracies; the artificial intelligence that has driven the cost of the lie to zero on an industrial scale; the Chinese robots that in twelve months went from folk dances to martial acrobatics before a billion people, while the world applauded without understanding what it was watching.
But it is not only the account of what has already happened. It is an investigation into what we have lost: the distinction between peace and war, the border as the limit of sovereignty, truth as the common ground of debate. The three pillars on which the West built four centuries of civilisation, now eroding at a speed our institutions still cannot measure.
Raffaele Di Marzio has spent more than twenty years inside the systems that manage these risks: banks, critical infrastructure, European regulators. He writes with the candour of someone who knows the mechanisms from within and no longer finds what he sees reassuring. He does not sell easy solutions, because easy solutions are the first form of disinformation. He offers something rarer and more necessary: the tools to understand before it is too late.
The facts described in this book existed before they were written. They will still exist when you have finished reading it. The difference, now, is you.
Second edition, revised and corrected: this version has been fully re-edited to remove typos and improve readability, taking readers' feedback into account. The editorial revision covers the Spanish, French and English editions.
