The Backstory
Almost every novel has a back story. It’s the author’s way of pushing his or her’s particular opinion on a subject. CyberKill is no exception.
The geographic locations, government and military installations and organizations, information warfare scenarios, artificial intelligence, robots, and the information and communications technology in this book all exist.
As for SIRUS, pieces of the technology are either in existence or in the research and development stage. According to the Department of Defense, it doesn’t exist.
On October 23rd 2007, The Fars News Agency of Iran, accused the US of manufacturing a genetic weapon. Head of the Foundation for the Protection of the Values of the Sacred Defense, General Mir Feysal Bagherzadeh said the US was seeking to manufacture a weapon which could kill specific peoples in a limited geographical area. The General further pointed out that the move should be considered as a case of genocide, “because they intend to massacre specific peoples and ethnicities” with the help of this weapon.
The US Department of Defense denies the report.
