PEACE, WAR, AND COMPUTERS

Book ID/图书代码： 11708105B06187

English Summary/英文概要： Computers are at the heart of war today: the U.S. Navy relies on Palm Pilots as much as fighter pilots. American cybersaboteurs unleashed computer viruses against Slobodon Milosevic in Yugoslavia. Even Marxist guerrillas in Colombia reported that the computers they used to track kidnappings were Y2K compliant. A visionary and disarming overview of cyberwar in the 21st Century, Peace, War, and Computers looks beyond the gadgets of techno-warfare and the early predictions of a purely ’cyberspace’ war to reveal how electronic culture has changed the way we wage war and peace. Drawing on informatics and chaos theory, Chris Hables Gray shows that, despite our Star-Wars fantasies, postmodern war is a complex system that cannot be controlled or predicted from outside. Unmanned aircraft-soon to be followed by remote-control naval fleets-may appear to make warfare more sterile, less bloody. But as the fighting in Somalia showed, the highest technology can’t win the simplest conflict.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 电脑是现代战争的核心，美国海军运用小型电脑作为导航系统，逐渐取代人工导航。美国黑客释放计算机病毒来反对美国打击南斯拉夫的军事行动。甚至哥伦比亚地区的共产主义游击队也使用计算机。《和平，战争和电脑》的观点超出了仅仅是小范围电子战争或者纯电脑的战争的局限。本书揭示了电子文化如何改变我们发动战争的方式。建立在许多情报学和一些其他理论基础上，作者说尽管星球只是一种幻想，但未来战争的不可控制性和无法预见性已经初见端倪。无人驾驶的飞机和远程控制的海军舰艇将使战争更少流血。但是高科技的战争还是战胜不了简单的战役。
