He concludes that cyberwar is best envisioned as a series of networks whose constantly shifting connections shape its very possibilities. He ultimately envisions cyberwar as a form of writing, advancing the innovative thesis that cyber attacks should be seen as a militarized form of deconstruction in which computer programs are systems that operate within the broader world of texts. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout, Joque addresses hot-button subjects such as technological social control and cyber-resistance entities like Anonymous and Wikileaks while also providing a rich, detailed history of cyberwar. \u003ci\u003eDeconstruction Machines\u003c\/i\u003e provides a necessary new interpretation of deconstruction and timely analysis of media, war, and technology. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003eForeword\u003cbr\u003eCatherine Malabou\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Root Kit\u003cbr\u003e1.
