The book catalogues and analyzes representations of a militarized Internet in popular Hollywood cinema, arguing that such illustrations of digitally networked technologies promotes an unhealthy transhumanism that weaponizes the relationships between the biological and technological aspects of that audience, while also hierarchically placing the \"human\" components at the top. Such filmmaking and movie-watching should be replaced with a critical posthumanism that challenges the relationships between the audience and their technologies, in addition to providing critical toolsthat can be applied to understanding and potentially resist modern warfare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAaron Tucker\u003c\/b\u003e is author of \u003ci\u003eInterfacing with the Internet in Popular Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e along with the poetry collections \u003ci\u003epunchlines \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eirresponsible mediums: the chesspoems of Marcel Duchamp\u003c\/i\u003e.
