Hardback. Condition: Good. Virtuous War is a road trip into the cyborg heart of the military-industrial-media-entertainment network, taking the reader at warp speed from the Armys Advanced Warfighting Experiment in the Mojave Desert, to the Marines Urban Warrior occupation of the San Francisco Bay area, to the new alliance between Hollywood, Silicon Valley, and the armed forces, and back again, to the authors own memories of war and genocide. . In the Mojave Desert, off the shores of San Francisco Bay, in the hills of southern Germany, next door to Disneyworld and in the heart of Hollywood, the United States armed forces are preparing for the next war. They are fought by the military in the same manner as they are viewed by citizens, on real-time networks and by live-feed videos, on the PC and the TV, actually and virtually. Enabled by smart technologies yet constrained by political and humanitarian imperatives, a new form of high-tech, low-risk warfare is emerging, Virtuous War . In Virtuous War , James Der Derian takes the reader on a roadtrip through the future of war, where cyborg combat technologies, video games, TV news stories, Army training exercises, and Hollywood movies all blur and converge in a new military-industrial-media-entertainment network. He shows us a world in which CNN and Disney are as much a part of the battlefield as Lockheed Martin and the Pentagon, where Marine fire-teams train with the video game Doom, and entertainment executives design Army wargames. All the while Der Derian offers tremendous insight on the questions that arise as the tail of technology wags the dog of war: Will killing become easier? Will peace become harder?

The result is the first book to offer a virtual theory for the military strategies, philosophical questions, ethical issues, and political controversies surrounding the future of war and peace.…
