商品簡介
The "Revolution in Military Affairs" so eagerly embraced by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and many others in the Pentagon envisions greater and greater reliance on technology, including advanced personnel and vehicle armors, unmanned drones, automated weapons systems, and more. In this work, Blackmore (information and media studies, U. of Western Ontario, Canada) explores the implications of this vision of future war for the bodies and minds of the humans that interact with the war technology of today and the future. His exploration ranges through personal narratives of war experiences, science fiction literature and film, and military imagery to build a frightening picture of the type of war that is emerging from the planning rooms of the Pentagon and the experimental labs of the weapons manufacturers.
