RAMOS, Hugo. Digital Inevitability: The Power of Weak Ties, Convergence and Curiosity in Stuxnet’s Dissemination. OBS* [online]. 2014, vol.8, n.1, pp.95-120. ISSN 1646-5954.

This article argues about the concept of digital inevitability, in the cyber war framing, and it is organised in four parts. The four topics discussed are: the new kind of war in the international context, Stuxnet’s historical context, the concepts and principles of network analysis in social sciences and the introduction of the digital inevitability concept. The concept of digital inevitability involves three main principles: the strength of weak ties, the convergence of networks into the network and the motivating power of curiosity as a drive for human behaviour. The analysis of this concept is made on the real case of Stuxnet’s network of dissemination, since its conception until its entrance in Natanz nuclear facility’s private and secure network.

Palavras-chave : digital inevitability; weak ties; convergence; curiosity.
