Drawing on counterinsurgency field manuals, tactical manifestos, data-driven military theory, and asymmetrical-war archives, Mike Hill delineates new \"Areas of Operation\" within a concept of the human being as not only a social and biological entity but also a technical one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDelving into three human-focused disciplines newly turned against humanity, \u003ci\u003eOn Posthuman War\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how demography, anthropology, and neuroscience have intertwined since 9\/11 amid the \"Revolution in Military Affairs.\" Beginning with the author's personal experience training with U.S. Marine recruits at Parris Island, Hill gleans insights from realist philosophy, the new materialism, and computational theory to show how the human being, per se, has been reconstituted from neutral citizen to unwitting combatant. As evident in the call for \"bullets, beans, and data,\" whatever can be parted out, counted, and reassembled can become war materiel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHill shows how visible and invisible wars within identity, community, and cognition shift public-sphere activities, like racial identification, group organisation, and even thought itself, in the direction of war. This shift has weaponised social activities against the very notion of society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOn Posthuman War\u003c\/i\u003e delivers insights on the latest war technologies, strategies, and tactics while engaging in questions poised to overturn the foundations of modern political thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849636466924,"sku":"9780816660902","price":57.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/20821403482478.jpg?v=1759056600","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/on-posthuman-war-by-mike-hill-9780816660902","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
