Brent Scowcroft Center Nonresident Senior Fellow August Cole writes for Vice News on an Art of Future Warfare event, which brought together a group of leading artists, as well as entries from a crowd-sourced online contest, to reveal the art of World War III:

Motherboard, the authors, and the Atlantic Council’s Art of Future Warfare project helped bring together a group of leading visual artists and illustrators, as well as entries from a crowd-sourced online contest, to reveal the art of World War III.
