Abstract
- 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.
