Warping minds since 1983 as an original creative thinker and contributor to cybersecurity, privacy, info warfare, cyber-terrorism, and now: METAWAR.

The Art & Science of Metawar

Orson Welles confirmed the power of immersive storytelling in 1938. Today, audiences beg for ever more immersive experiences.

  • "The Civilian Architect of Information Warfare"

    – Commodore Pat Tyrrell OBE Royal Navy, UK of Winn in 1996

  • “We are digitally terraforming the cognitive infrastructure of the future. We’ve been given a second chance. We know how to do it wrong. Why don’t we choose to do it right?”

    – Winn Schwartau on Metawar

  • “An electronic ‘Pearl Harbor’ is coming.”

    – Winn Schwartau to US Congress in 1991

  • “My career has been about awareness and getting people to think about things that they don't have to think about.”

    – Winn Schwartau

  • "As we enter the age of 'spatial computing', fueled through AI, the ethical, socio-political and logistical considerations [of Winn’s metawar thesis] will impact the lives of many. Schwartau is making sure we think about these things sooner, rather than later.”

    – Michael J. Masucci, Director, EZTV Museum
