It argues that modern American power is not exercised only through military force or conventional diplomacy, but also through control over the hidden infrastructure of globalization, including financial messaging systems, digital networks, standards, and other points of connection that the global economy depends on. The book introduces and popularizes the idea of weaponized interdependence, showing how central positions in these networks can be used to monitor, pressure, exclude, or constrain foreign actors. Written for a broad audience, it combines academic research with reporting and case-based explanation to make a technical subject accessible. Its purpose is to show how ordinary features of interconnected markets and communications have become instruments of coercion, and why that development matters for alliances, rivalries, and the stability of the international order.
