Rezensionen

'Theorising Future Conflict takes us on a thrilling journey into the cyberpunk politics of war and security that the near future may well have in store. Weaving a path amid sci-fi dystopias, liberal theory, and war studies, Mark Lacy offers us a sobering assessment of how global security (and society) may be transformed this side of 2049. Exactly the kind of free and clear thinking we need in a moment too often in hock to glib optimism or dark dystopias.'

Ruben Andersson, University of Oxford, UK

'Lacy takes us to a future of 'shimmers', 'hybrids' and 'cyborgs' that speaks to our present. How did we reach it? What alternative futures were discarded on the way? Instead of ready-made answers, this book proposes materials, tools and spaces to speculate, face and form our futures.'

Anna Leander, Geneva Graduate Institute Geneva, Switzerland

'Drawing inspiration from science fiction, Mark Lacy's Theorising Future Conflict is an innovative and theoretically sophisticated mediation on the possible trajectories of armed conflict.'

Duncan Bell, University of Cambridge, UK
