A behind-the-scenes look at how the military uses cutting-edge video game technology to train soldiers for new forms of armed conflict, treat veterans, and entice new recruits. Researcher Corey Mead shows us training sessions where soldiers undertake multiplayer "missions" that test combat skills, develop unit cohesion, and teach cultural awareness. He immerses himself in 3-D battle simulations so convincing that they leave his heart racing. And he shows how the military fuels the adoption of games as learning tools--and recruitment come-ons. Mead also details how the military uses games to prepare soldiers for their return to the home front, and to treat PTSD. Military-funded researchers were closely involved with the invention of the Internet; now, as Mead proves, we are at the brink of a similar explosion in game technology. War Play reveals that many of tomorrow's teaching tools, therapies, and entertainments can be found in today's military.--From publisher description.

Malgré leurs apparences contraires, la guerre et le jeu ont des rapports multiples et intimes. En trois sections thématiques (historique et politique, littéraire, médiatique), cet ouvrage entreprend de décrire leurs connexions à l’ère moderne. La guerre classique, comme le jeu de Stratego ou les échecs, repose sur des champs réglés et symétriques. Avec la guerre moderne, cet espace agonal d’un combat « chevaleresque » comme jeu « noble » (Huizinga) cède sa place à un espace de la terreur et de la mort aléatoire et sans limites. Le terrorisme actuel s’apparente à un jeu de hasard mortel. La stratégie nucléaire, quand bien même fondée sur la théorie des jeux et un équilibre statistique, demeure aujourd’hui un pari macabre et fatal. Ce livre offre une réflexion dynamique et transversale sur les multiples facettes culturelles de cette relation paradoxale qui lie le jeu et la guerre moderne : de Naudé concevant le peuple comme un pion manipulé par un souverain démiurge, aux analogies médiatiques entre musique et guerre dans le documentaire filmique Heavy Metal in Baghdad, en passant par Schlieffen élaborant sa stratégie dans des Kriegsspiele militaires, ou encore par le Jeu de la Guerre de Debord et son adaptation « situationniste » en wargame informatique. Au final, Guerre et jeu offre une grille de lecture des grands équilibres et déséquilibres politico-stratégiques de notre monde et de l’histoire aux aléas d’une guerre hasardeuse.

Virtuous War is the first book to map the emergence and judge the consequences of a new military-industrial-media-entertainment network. James Der Derian takes the reader from a family history of war and genocide to new virtual battlespaces in the Mojave Desert, Silicon Valley, Hollywood and American universities. He tracks the convergence of cyborg technologies, video games, media spectacles, war movies, and do-good ideologies that produced a chimera of high-tech, low-risk ‘virtuous wars’.In this newly updated edition, he reveals how a misguided faith in virtuous war to right the wrongs of the world instead paved the way for a flawed response to 9/11 and a disastrous war in Iraq. Blinded by virtue, emboldened by technological superiority, seized by a mimetic terror, the US blundered from one foreign fiasco to the next.Taking the long view as well as getting up close to the war machine, Virtuous War provides a compelling alternative to the partisan politics, instant analysis and technical fixes that currently bedevil US national security policy.
