Deconstruction Machines: Writing in the Age of Cyberwar


Add your own review!

Overview

Justin Joque explores the fundamental nature of cyberwar through a detailed investigation of the crisis points when cybersecurity systems break down and reveal their internal contradictions. He envisions cyberwar as a form of writing, and 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.
