The Iraq War, however, was no digital game: massive-scale physical death and destruction counter the vision of a clean replayable war. The military policy of the United States, and not the actual experience of war, has been rooted in the logic of digital, and nascent algorithmic technology. This logic attempted to reduce culture, society, as well as the physical body and environment into visual data that lacks cultural and historical context. This book details the emergence of a nascent algorithmic war culture in the context of the Iraq War (2003-2010) in relation to the data-driven early 20th century British Mandate for Iraq. Through a series of five inquiries into the ways in which the Iraq War attempted to and often failed to see population and territory as digital and further proto-algorithmic entities, it offers an insight into the digitization and further unmanned automaton of war. It does so through a comparative historical framework reaching back to the quantification techniques harnessed during the British Mandate for Iraq (1918-1932) in order to explicate the parallels and complicated the diversions between the numerical logics that have driven both military state-building enterprises. Stefka Hristovas research examines algorithmic and digital media cultures. She studies the intersection of technology and culture in relation the context of photography, surveillance, and social movements. 001448409 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001448409 647_7 $$aIraq War$$d(2003-2011)$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01802311 001448409 650_0 $$aIraq War, 2003-2011$$xMathematical models. 001448409 650_0 $$aAlgorithms. 001448409 650_0 $$aLogic, Symbolic and mathematical. 001448409 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001448409 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aHristova, Stefka, 1977-$$tProto-algorithmic war.$$dBasingstoke : Palgrave Macmillan, 2022$$z9783031042188$$w(OCoLC)1334133936 001448409 830_0 $$aSocial and cultural studies of robots and AI. 001448409 852__ $$bebk 001448409 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-04219-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001448409 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1448409$$pGLOBAL_SET 001448409 980__ $$aBIB 001448409 980__ $$aEBOOK 001448409 982__ $$aEbook 001448409 983__ $$aOnline 001448409 994__ $$a92$$bISE
