Cyberwar and revolution: digital subterfuge in global capitalism: by N. Dyer-Witheford and S. Matviyenko, Minneapolis and London, University of Minnesota Press, 2019, 232 pp., $24.95 paper ISBN:978-1-5179-0411-1, $100.00 cloth ISBN:978-1-5179-0410-4.

Nick Dyer-Witheford and Svitlana Matviyenko's Cyberwar and Revolution argues that widespread datafication shapes the conception and conduct of warfare in the twenty first century. By contrast, Dyer-Witheford and Matviyenko consider cyberwar as qualitatively akin to the threat of nuclear war as both can bring "catastrophic conflict" (p. 23). More broadly, Dyer-Witheford and Matviyenko do bring together several sets of literature like the political economy of military communication, critical geopolitics studies, and big data and surveillance studies.
