Although cyberwar is widely discussed, few accounts undertake a deep, critical view of its roots and consequences. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnalyzing the new militarization of the internet, \u003ci\u003eCyberwar and Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e argues that digital warfare is not a bug in the logic of global capitalism but rather a feature of its chaotic, disorderly unconscious. Urgently confronting the concept of cyberwar through the lens of both Marxist critical theory and psychoanalysis, Nick Dyer-Witheford and Svitlana Matviyenko provide a wide-ranging examination of the class conflicts and geopolitical dynamics propelling war across digital networks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInvestigating the subjectivities that cyberwar mobilizes, exploits, and bewilders, and revealing how it permeates the fabric of everyday life and implicates us all in its design, this book also highlights the critical importance of the emergent resistance to this digital militarism—hacktivism, digital worker dissent, and off-the-grid activism—for effecting different, better futures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Engaging, imaginative, and thorough, \u003ci\u003eCyberwar and Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e tracks the emergence of cyberwar as expressions and fantasies that reveal the unconscious violent hostility of contemporary capitalism.\" —Benjamin Noys, author of \u003ci\u003eMalign Velocities: Accelerationism and Capitalism\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Sweeping in scope, precise with details, and penetrating in its theoretical analysis, \u003ci\u003eCyberwar and Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e is a superbly crafted account.
