War in the age of intelligent machines

What Hacker News says

   It's funny you bring this up, because Platonic idealism has been thoroughly debunked in the past century. Some of the latest thinking on the subject is known as "new materialism," and its core tenet is exactly the "technical evolution" that Yossi talks about in the article. I recommend Manuel de Landa's War in the Age of Intelligent Machines for an introduction (it's as near to a hacker's philosophy book as I've seen).

   Cf. Manuel de Landa, "War in the age of intelligent machines".

   Delanda was very interesting in the beginning but didn't quite find or found his community and began talking in an echo chamber that impoverished his thought. Still, "War...", "Intensive science and virtual philosophy" and "A thousand years of nonlinear history" are respectively a very promising start, an impressive peak and an early mature book. Too bad I can't recommend anything from "Philosophy and simulation" forward.
