How Tech Changes Our Thinking About War
24th May 2009
An interesting perspective. Everyone is familiar with the cliché that armies prepare to fight the last war, and history is full of examples of victory going to the side that broke free of that mindset first (WWI is the poster child here). What happens when someone manages to create a “theory of the next war” that looks at technological change and correctly extrapolates that change onto the battlefield? This may be a contribution in that direction.
