Description
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.
Reviews
"Deconstruction machines provides a powerful insight into how cyberwar serves to militarize writing, threatens civic infrastructure and thereby brings war into the code and software that governs our everyday lives." International Affairs
