- Ernest Hemingway's second novel, written in first-person narration, published in 1929, and semi-autobiographical. Frederic Henry, a volunteer American ambulance driver, serves in Italy during World War I. Whilst abroad, he meets British nurse Catherine Barkley and becomes attracted to her. He gets a chance to consummate his attraction to her after being wounded at the front and shipped back to hospital. By the end of the summer, Catherine is three months pregnant. Once healed, Frederic returns to the front just in time for it to collapse and the Austro-Hungarians to come pouring through; he, like the other officers, are rounded up by the "battle police" and executed for the defeat. Frederic escapes through some quick Bad Assery and reunites with Catherine, whereupon the two escape to Switzerland in a rowboat. There they maintain an isolated but idyllic existence until Catherine goes into labor. The baby is stillborn. Catherine hemorrhages and dies. The end. Hemingway was not a happy man. Besides many characters being based on people the author knew, this novel is useful to Hemingway scholars as it provides the first incarnations of the famed Hemingway "code hero" (known to modern tropers as the Marty Stu, or perhaps the Broken Ace). Frederic Henry is The Stoic, relates to the world in a largely physical manner, he has trouble not being a Jerkass sometimes, and he suffers from a certain amount of Testosterone Poisoning in that his thoughts revolve around girls and drink. Main Characters in Hemingway novels would continue in this vein throughout most of his body of work. The novel is considered one of the great classics of American fiction, and chances are that if you attended an American high school, you read it there. (This just highlights one of the downsides of Hemingway's "iceberg theory" of fiction: it relies on Subtext, which, depending on your age and/or maturity level, you might not get.)

- The article, argues that the perceived convenience of digital connectivity comes at the cost of potential insecurity. Carlin points out that while an army's digital infrastructure can level the playing field against superior military forces, that same connectivity can render them vulnerable. Comparably, digitally connected civilian infrastructures lay vulnerable their power grids, stock markets, phones, etc. In this sense warfare in the digital age may be fought on different battlefronts and without weapons, hence the title 'A Farewell to Arms.' The main question posed is how to best attack these insecurities in an ever-changing landscape. Militaries and governments tend to be rigid, hierarchical and procedural and thus slow to react and adapt to these conditions. Meanwhile, the breadth of internet warfare changes exponentially. In a digital age, massive purchases of military hardware such as planes, ships and aircraft carriers can actually lead to greater vulnerability. Part of a government effort to combat on these new fronts are The Day After Games. These "games" are highly competitive thought experiments, undertaken by small but diverse teams of government agents. The goal is to train these new agents to best respond to a number of possible doomsday scenarios. However, questions remain about how to rewrite the playbook for such warfare, and who or what obstacles remain in the way.
