Description
War X Human Extensions in Battlespace by Tim Blackmore explores the relationship between technology and warfare. The author argues that military advancements have led to a sanitization of war, making it more palatable and reducing anxiety. Blackmore examines the intersection of human beings in battle and the world of weapons manufacturers, revealing a fascination with war technology. He draws on popular science fiction literature, personal narratives, biographies, and military imagery to discuss the human body in war and the ways soldiers imagine themselves as superhuman. This book offers an insightful look at modern warfare and its implications for the future of conflict. With new weapon development ongoing, Blackmore's work provides a timely consideration of industrial warfare and its potential consequences.
