The scary thing with the future of weapons is that they seem to increase plausible deniability thus changing the game theory equation to one of more aggression.
The basic tenant of a lot of the games we play are of attributing past actions to another agent. If there is no attribution, playing fair makes less sense.
Hacking, media manipulation ops, and commodity drones can be used in a way that does not reveal the origin. That means that there cannot be retribution or, more perversely, it can mean incorrect attribution and retribution.
This lowers the cost of aggressive acts substantially.
I don't have a solution to it but I hope there is one.
