A revealing account of the prevalence--and alarming ubiquity--of military targeting, and how it has become a self-propelling worldview driven by dominance, violence, and power. The World According to Military Targeting engages directly with our grave world condition, asking how we ended up in a "closed world" made for military targeting by military targeting. In this book, Erik Reichborn-Kjennerud explores how the operational logics and seductive forces of targeting produce a world in which the only ways to think about politics and security is through military supremacy, endless war, and global domination, with serious implications for social and political life. Offering a critical investigation of military targeting through the lenses of its historical formation, current operations, and future implications, the author presents an innovative investigation into targeting's radical knowledge production, how it abstracts and brings into being new worlds, and the violence and destructive effects it generates. Through an interdisciplinary lens, the book draws attention to military doctrine and methodologies; statistical thought and practice; the mathematical and computational techniques of data production, processing, and modeling; and the so-called machine-learning algorithms and AI of today. The resulting narrative provides novel insights into how imagining the world, producing the world, and operationalizing the world are always wrapped up in each other and profoundly embedded in sociotechnical systems.

揭示軍事目標普遍性及其驚人無處不在的報告，以及它如何成為一種由主導、暴力和權力驅動的自我推動世界觀。
根據軍事目標的世界 直接與我們嚴峻的世界狀況互動，詢問我們如何陷入由軍事目標所製造的「封閉世界」。在這本書中，Erik Reichborn-Kjennerud 探討了軍事目標的操作邏輯和誘惑力量如何產生一個世界，在這個世界中，思考政治和安全的唯一方式是透過軍事優越、無盡的戰爭和全球統治，這對社會和政治生活有著嚴重的影響。 本書通過其歷史形成、當前操作和未來影響的視角，對軍事目標進行了批判性的調查，作者提出了一個創新的研究，探討軍事目標的激進知識生產，如何抽象並創造出新的世界，以及它所產生的暴力和破壞性影響。通過跨學科的視角，本書引起了對軍事教義和方法論、統計思維和實踐、數據生產、處理和建模的數學和計算技術，以及當今所謂的機器學習算法和人工智慧的關注。最終的敘述提供了新的見解，揭示了想像世界、生產世界和操作世界如何始終相互交織，並深深嵌入社會技術系統中。作者簡介
