In the Russia-Ukraine war, attention has been focused on the "Special
Military Operation" This book argues that there are many other special
operations, in various other arenas in the world, that deserve equal and
urgent attention. Connecting special military operations to what it
calls special economic operations, special cultural operations, special
technological operations, special sexual operations and special
political operations, the book argues that special operations are not
exclusive. AIso drawing on topical debates about technoscience, the book
critically examines invasive technologies in relation to bodily
autonomy, integrity and privacy, and it urges scholars and thinkers to
compare these invasive technological operations to invasive special
military operations. The book grapples with the future of humanity in a
world where the human is decentred even as the world is witnessing the
proliferation of resource wars. The book is relevant for scholars in
anthropology, sociology, politics, government studies, international
relations, history, media studies, science and technology studies and
disaster management.
