Author: Anthimos Alexandros Tsirigotis Full Title: Cybernetics, Warfare And Discourse: The Cybernetisation Of Warfare In Britain Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan; 1st ed. 2017 edition (April 9, 2017) Year: 2016 ISBN-13: 9783319508474 (978-3-319-50847-4), 9783319508467 (978-3-319-50846-7) ISBN-10: 3319508474, 3319508466 Pages: 176 Language: English Genre: Political Theory File type: PDF (True) Quality: 10/10 Price: 119.59 € This book critiques mainstream beliefs about cyberwarfare and forges a new path in the way of defining this largely misunderstood concept. Rather than outlining cyberspace as a new technology applied in military operations, here, Tsirigotis rallies against this technocentric account and establishes how cyberspace, first and foremost, should be categorized as a new way to understand war and military power in the Information Age. Using genre analysis and Corpus Linguistics, the author scrutinizes how cyberspace has changed the way the UK comprehends war and military power, and how the cybernetisation of war has manifested itself in Britain's approach to national defense and security. ------------- Our members see more.
