Trained in virtual environments, army personnel are increasingly enhanced by augmented reality technologies that bring combat into conformity with its simulation. Equally, the seductions of media and entertainment have become crucial weapons for \"information dominance.\" At the same time as the infosphere demands that war takes on the properties of a game, hyper-realistic videogames evolved from military technology become a kind of virtual distributed training camp, as the lines between simulation and action, combatant and civilian, become blurred.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on a round table discussion prompted by the work of artist John Gerrard, \u003ci\u003eSimulation, Exercise, Operations\u003c\/i\u003e assembles thinkers from philosophy, media, and military theory to examine the powers of simulation in the contemporary world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robin MacKay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0993045863\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780993045868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Urbanomic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/03\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.70w x 0.50d","brand":"Robin MacKay","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46136009163007,"sku":"9780993045868","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2c41fc76-6195-4160-8615-8e79bb0b1781.jpg?v=1726415411","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/simulation-exercise-operations-robin-mackay-9780993045868","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
