Description

Killer Apps: War, Media, Machine by Jeremy Packer and Joshua Reeves explores the intersection of media and military strategy in the context of modern warfare. Drawing on insights from political and media theorists, the authors develop a new theory for understanding how media systems are central to building weapons systems with artificial intelligence. The book examines the role of media in shaping military strategy, including the use of automated radar systems, the search for extraterrestrial life, and the development of military climate science. By analyzing these topics, Packer and Reeves demonstrate how contemporary military strategy relies on perfect communication in an evolving battlespace that increasingly favors advanced robotics and machine intelligence. This analysis has significant implications for our understanding of modern warfare and its relationship with technology.
