Critics Review
“On Posthuman War offers a compelling new account of the systemic militarization of human experience. Describing the weaponization of thought that has turned the brain itself into a combat zone, Mike Hill shows that the most basic epistemological and ontological questions can now only be posed from within the war machine.”-Jan Mieszkowski, author of Watching War
“As Mike Hill demonstrates, war has become woven into the fabric of all our lives through the woof and warp of data and virtuality, and his discussion reaches deeply into the ontological import of this process. This is a book for our times, at once compelling and chilling, lively and optimistic.”-Geoffrey C. Bowker, University of California, Irvine
“Flowing between philosophy, communication methods and the politics of diversity and race, the book bridges fields and informatively navigates the politics of war.”-International Journal of Communication
