You may not be interested in space piracy...but space pirates are interested in you.

Join us at Village Well Books & Coffee for an enlightening conversation on the future of space travel and the danger that it entails. Marc Feldman and Hugh Taylor, co-founders of the Center for the Study of Space Crime, Piracy, and Governance, join us to discuss their book Spae Piracy: Preparing for a Criminal Crisis in Orbit. Space Force and Air Force officials have hailed the book as "essential reading" for an "all too plausible" future.

About the book:

Space Piracy: Preparing for a Criminal Crisis in Orbit is a forward-thinking resource that considers, analyzes, and provides solutions to the influence of the ignoble side of humanity in the realm of outer space, where potential for crime, corruption, piracy, and war increases as the exploitation of space as a commercial resource continues to develop. This book blends the authors' knowledge with that of subject matter experts to deliver a holistic understanding of criminality in space and help readers broaden their horizons beyond their own area of specialization.

Some of the topics explored in this insightful book include:

• Space hacking, from software, data, network, and hardware risks to existing cybersecurity standards and practices in space
• Criminal organizations that might pursue criminal activities in space, including cartels, kidnappers and devicenappers, and governments
• Laws and treaties relevant to space crime, such as the Communications Satellite Act and the Outer Space Treaty of 1967

Filled with practical, thought-provoking knowledge and guidance, Space Piracy: Preparing for a Criminal Crisis in Orbit earns a well-deserved spot on the bookshelves of professionals working in the best of humanity's institutions, including law and intelligence services, finance, insurance and risk management, corporations, and the sciences, who seek to combat what the worst of us may be dreaming up.
