内容简介：How will future wars be fought, in what spaces, and which countries will have the capability to engage in such wars? These are the questions that people are most curious about and explore the most. The First and Second World Wars are distant from us, but will a Third World War really happen? There are reports suggesting that Hawking predicted the timing of the Third World War, roughly around 2035. Will Hawking's prediction of the Third World War come true? Science fiction writ...
