The Franck report advised that, rather than dropping the bomb on Japan without warning, the United States should publicly demonstrate the effects of the weapon, so as to allow for “the possibility of taking into account the public opinion of [the U.S.] and of the other nations before deciding whether these weapons should be used against Japan. In this way, other nations may assume a share of responsibility for such a fateful decision.” The U.S. government decided otherwise, and atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and August 9, 1945. Why is this sequence of events relevant to a book on war and algorithms? The situation today does not, at first glance, seem analogous to that of 1945: no world war is about to conclude, and it does not seem that some single decision that will transform the fates of millions is imminent. Neither are we privy to the details of some new Manhattan project for the twenty-first century. But the rejection of the Franck report’s recommendations tells us at least this much: that a war, even if it is about to be won, is not a good time to begin a public deliberation over transformative military technology. And while the actual use of a nuclear weapon is far more grave than even the most disquieting truths publicly revealed about new developments in military tech- nology, we now know that a weaponized form of knowledge has already been established in the world, and that the world has already been transformed by it. Convening the court of public opinion to rule on the nuclear bomb would not have done away with that technology, even if it might have delayed its use. The same applies to the military use of algorithms today. The Franck report proposed demonstrating the bomb’s effects in order to provide that 1 16028-0303f-Finalpass-r01.indd 1 9/24/2019 12:03:26 PM 2 Chapter 1 court of public opinion with evidence. The evidence of the effects of algo- rithmic warfare available to us today is much more difficult to make sense of than any such demonstration of the effects of the atom bomb would have been. Nonetheless, we must at least attempt to make sense of this evidence. The first point we wish to make in this introduction is that public debates about radically new and powerful ways of waging war must take place long before any conflicts that might motivate their employment. Once technolo- gies have emerged and matured, history will have invested itself in the new possibilities, and the space of politics will have shrunk. Because we are approaching our subject before it has fully matured, describing and analyzing it presupposes a measure of speculation. Franck and his colleagues saw, with appropriate clarity, that radically innovative ways of waging war will radi- cally transform our societies, even in times of peace. Major conurbations, as suitable targets for the use of nuclear weapons, would become huge liabilities for the United States, as the report made clear.

  • What Literature Knows: Forays Into Literary Knowledge Production
    Contributions to English 2 Contributions to English and American Literary Studies 2 and American Literary Studies 2 Antje Kley / Kai Merten (eds.) Antje Kley / Kai Merten (eds.) Kai Merten (eds.) Merten Kai / What Literature Knows This volume sheds light on the nexus between knowledge and literature. Arranged What Literature Knows historically, contributions address both popular and canonical English and Antje Kley US-American writing from the early modern period to the present. They focus on how historically specific texts engage with epistemological questions in relation to Forays into Literary Knowledge Production material and social forms as well as representation. The authors discuss literature as a culturally embedded form of knowledge production in its own right, which deploys narrative and poetic means of exploration to establish an independent and sometimes dissident archive. The worlds that imaginary texts project are shown to open up alternative perspectives to be reckoned with in the academic articulation and public discussion of issues in economics and the sciences, identity formation and wellbeing, legal rationale and political decision-making. What Literature Knows The Editors Antje Kley is professor of American Literary Studies at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany. Her research interests focus on aesthetic forms and cultural functions of narrative, both autobiographical and fictional, in changing media environments between the eighteenth century and the present. Kai Merten is professor of British Literature at the University of Erfurt, Germany. His research focuses on contemporary poetry in English, Romantic culture in Britain as well as on questions of mediality in British literature and Postcolonial Studies. He is also the founder of the Erfurt Network on New Materialism.

  • WORLD PHILOSOPHY DAY 2020 World Philosophy
    WORLD PHILOSOPHY DAY 2020 World Philosophy Day (JMP) 2020 will take place on Thursday, November 19. The celebration spans three days, November 18, 19 and 20. The main components are as follows: ♦ On November 19 and 20, four high-level roundtables will be organized, with eminent philoso- phers from all regions, who will be invited to reflect on the meaning of the current pandemic from different tools and philosophical perspectives. The axes of discussion will be: fear, in relation to trust, and therefore risk; being-together, in relation to solidarity; health, in relation to illness, but also to well-being; and finally the language of the pandemic. The round tables will be spread over the two days to ensure worldwide coverage of time zones, taking into account the complementarity with other events, and in particular with the Night of Philosophy redesigned in virtual format. ♦ On November 19 and 20, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., the 19th International Meetings on New Philo- sophical Practices (NPP) will be held, in cooperation with the UNESCO Chair on Philosophical Practices with Children at the University of Nantes. Detailed program and connection links: https://philo.sciencesconf.org/data/pages/Programme_NPP_version_finale_10.pdf ♦ On November 18 and 19, a series of webinars organized by the Network of Latin American Women Philosophers (Reddem) will take place. ♦ On November 19, a special World Philosophy Day Master Class will be organized online with young people on the use of critical thinking in the fight against racism. ♦ On November 19, the French National Commission for UNESCO is offering an online event proposed by around the book "Covid-19, towards a new world? », Under the direction of Christian Byk in collaboration with Bénédicte Boyer-Bévière and Damien Aftassi.

  • The End of All Things Took Me Longer to Write Than Most of My Books Do, in Part Because I Had a Number of False Starts
    AN ALTERNATE “THE LIFE OF THE MIND” Deleted and Alternate Scenes ■■ ■■ 039-61734_ch01_4P.indd 351 06/09/15 6:17 am Introduction The End of All Things took me longer to write than most of my books do, in part because I had a number of false starts. These false starts weren’t bad—in my opinion— and they were use- ful in helping me fi gure out what was best for the book; for ex- ample, determining which point- of- view characters I wanted to have, whether the story should be in fi rst or third person, and so on. But at the same time it’s annoying to write a bunch of stuff and then go Yeaaaaah, that’s not it. So it goes. Through vari ous false starts and diversions, I ended up writ- ing nearly 40,000 words— almost an entire short novel!—of material that I didn’t directly use. Some of it was re cast and repurposed in different directions, and a lot of it was simply left to the side. The thing is when I throw something out of a book, I don’t just delete it. I put it into an “excise fi le” and keep it just in case it’ll come in handy later. Like now: I’ve taken vari ous bits from the excise fi le and with them have crafted a fi rst chapter of an alternate version of The Life of the Mind, the fi rst novella of The End of All Things. This version (roughly) covers the same events, with (roughly) the same characters, but with a substantially different narrative di- rection.

  • Active Measures: the Secret History of Disinformation & Political
    Active Measures: The Secret History of Disinformation & Political Warfare | Thomas Rid Philosophers have only interpreted the world. The point, May 25th, 2020 however, is to change it. — Karl Marx INTRODUCTION Thomas Rid is Professor of Strategic Studies at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies. Rid’s latest book, Active Measures, a startling history of disinformation, was published in late April 2020 with Farrar, Straus and Giroux (also in Russian, Japanese, Polish). His most recent book, Rise of the Machines (2016), tells the sweeping story of how cybernetics, a late- 1940s theory of machines, came to incite anarchy and war (also in Chinese, Russian, German, Japanese, Turkish). His 2015 article “Attributing Cyber Attacks” was designed to explain, guide, and improve the identification of network breaches (Journal of Strategic Studies 2015). In 2013 he published the widely-read book Cyber War Will Not Take Place. Rid’s Ph.D. thesis, “War and Media Operations: The US Military and the Press from Vietnam to Iraq,” was the first academic analysis of the role of embedded media in the 2003 Iraq War, providing a concise history of US military public affairs management since Vietnam. Rid testified on information security in front of the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence as well as in the German Bundestag and the UK Parliament. From 2011 to 2016, Rid was a professor in the Department of War Studies at King’s College London. Between 2003 and 2010, he worked at major think tanks in Berlin, Paris, Jerusalem, and Washington, DC. Rid holds a PhD from Humboldt University in Berlin.
