Although cyberwar is widely discussed, few accounts undertake a deep, critical view of its roots and consequences. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnalyzing the new militarization of the internet, \u003ci\u003eCyberwar and Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e argues that digital warfare is not a bug in the logic of global capitalism but rather a feature of its chaotic, disorderly unconscious. Urgently confronting the concept of cyberwar through the lens of both Marxist critical theory and psychoanalysis, Nick Dyer-Witheford and Svitlana Matviyenko provide a wide-ranging examination of the class conflicts and geopolitical dynamics propelling war across digital networks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInvestigating the subjectivities that cyberwar mobilizes, exploits, and bewilders, and revealing how it permeates the fabric of everyday life and implicates us all in its design, this book also highlights the critical importance of the emergent resistance to this digital militarism--hacktivism, digital worker dissent, and off-the-grid activism--for effecting different, better futures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nick Dyer-Witheford, Svitlana Matviyenko\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1517904110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781517904111\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Nick Dyer-Witheford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43940065706239,"sku":"9781517904111","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d2854374-b4f7-427d-8e5d-8ab139d34852.jpg?v=1681445087","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cyberwar-and-revolution-nick-dyer-witheford-9781517904111","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
