 | Deconstruction Machines : Writing in the Age of Cyberwar A bold new theory of cyberwar argues that militarized hacking is best understood as a form of deconstruction In Deconstruction Machines , 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. Throughout, 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. Deconstruction Machines provides a necessary new interpretation of deconstruction and timely analysis of media, war, and technology. Justin Joque is the data visualization librarian at the University of Michigan. Catherine Malabou is a philosopher and professor in the Philosophy Department at the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy at Kingston University, London.
