Virtual War With Virtual Weapons For Virtually No Money   extrapolates outwards from the beach, responding to the film describing what the cables are by establishing what the cables do. It follows how these novel technologies converge to rewrite labour relations and accelerate capitalism beyond our ability to question it. The book takes the form of found government documents and news articles overlaid with redactive black boxes with the text filling in for the omitted details. The form of the book critiques the secrecy of government documents and responds to the often exaggerated claims within fields of technology by constructing non-linear counterhistories. The experimental form develops arguments informed by Frazin Lotfi-Jam, Monika Domman, Hannes Rickli and Max Stadler.
