Cyber Mania is a book about the wars, entrepreneurs, criminals, and inventions of the future. It is about future successes, dangers and mysteries. Cyber Mania is a book about a revolution currently underway, whose power and significance must be appreciated in order to understand the world of the 21st century.

Справжнім каталізатором ізраїльської кіберреволюції став візит прем'єр-міністра Біньяміна Нетаньяху до елітного розвідувального підрозділу 8200 Армії оборони Ізраїлю у 2010 році. Те, що він почув від молодих солдатів, приголомшило його: новий світ кіберпростору створював надзвичайні ризики для Ізраїлю, роблячи країну вразливою до атак звідусіль світу. Але цей виклик Нетаньяху сприйняв як можливість.
