Warfare and its technologies predate human history. Their dynamic relationship drives the transformation of war and countless realms of technological innovation. Yet even now the newest, best, and highest technology cannot guarantee victory. Rather, technology and warfare remain in a timeless dialectic, driving change without ever stabilizing a military balance of power or capping a trajectory of technological creativity. New technologies continue to push warfare in unexpected directions, while warfare pulls technology into new realms and new possibilities. War and Technology: A Very Short Introduction explores this continually evolving story from the ancestors of Homo sapiens to the age of net-centric warfare and autonomous weapons.
