Description
War X Human Extensions in Battlespace by Tim Blackmore explores how military technology has transformed warfare into a more sanitized and palatable experience. By examining the connections between human soldiers and the machines that protect them, Blackmore reveals a world where war is increasingly viewed with little anxiety. The author draws on popular science fiction literature and film, personal narratives, biographies, and military imagery to explore the human body in war and the ways in which soldiers imagine themselves as superhuman. This book offers an explosive introduction to the discussion of modern warfare and a timely consideration of industrial warfare as it unfolds today. Blackmore's work also delves into the world of new weapon development, examining the indescribable future of war that beckons. With its unique blend of technology, psychology, and sociology, War X Human Extensions in Battlespace is a thought-provoking exploration of the human cost of modern warfare.
