A clausewitzian walk-through of means of fighting a 21th Century conflict, with the notable exception of traditional inter-state conventional (or nuclear) war. If you follow news coverage of international conflicts closely, "The Weaponisation of Everything" won't offer you many surprises. Its broad scope makes it somewhat encyclopedic.
Good, with one caveat. When I look at the subtitle, I can't help imagining Sun Tzu, Machiavelli, William the Conqueror, William T. Sherman, Basil Liddell Hart, and others looking at each other and saying, "New? What does he mean, new?"
This is a well-organized survey of current applications of the ancient idea that warfare is not limited to physical violence. But it never has been. The only aspects that are new are those that use recently developed technologies and institutions like the Internet.
With that reality check in mind, this is, regardless, both interesting and worth reading.

This book delivers a great overview as a primer on non-kinetic weaponisation - helping me navigate the new world we live in. Each chapter ends with suggestions for books if you want more details on a specific topic.
The only thing that lowers the rating is the omission of references. The many assertions made needed more backing than the suggested readings.

definitely theoretical but also fascinating and easy to get lost in.. a lot of recommendations for future reads that I’m going to try and find
