But although computer-based warfare has been with us for decades, it has changed dramatically since its emergence in the 1990s, and the pace of change is accelerating.\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eDeconstruction Machines\u003c\/i\u003e, Justin Joque inquires into the fundamental nature of cyberwar through a detailed investigation of what happens at the crisis points when cybersecurity systems break down and reveal their internal contradictions. He concludes that cyberwar is best envisioned as a series of networks whose constantly shifting connections shape its very possibilities. He ultimately envisions cyberwar as a form of writing, advancing the innovative thesis that cyber attacks should be seen as a militarized form of deconstruction in which computer programs are systems that operate within the broader world of texts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout, Joque addresses hot-button subjects such as technological social control and cyber-resistance entities like Anonymous and Wikileaks while also providing a rich, detailed history of cyberwar. \u003ci\u003eDeconstruction Machines\u003c\/i\u003e provides a necessary new interpretation of deconstruction and timely analysis of media, war, and technology. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Justin Joque\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1517902525\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781517902520\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 02\/27\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.80d","brand":"Justin Joque","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46767180775679,"sku":"9781517902520","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7e0e68e9-2422-4b47-98d7-1d246e7b7372.jpg?v=1744169071","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/deconstruction-machines-justin-joque-9781517902520","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
