Synopsis
A nuclear-extinction unconscious has worked over the last 30 years to ‘automate’ much political thinking and recuperate it into individualist culture wars that reaffirming the extinction regimes
Empire of Deterrence reveals how nuclear strategy, once framed as a tool for security, has become an invisible but ever-present law — shaping the very foundations of political authority, economic order, and cultural imagination in the Anglosphere. Rather than merely deterring conflict, nuclear logic now smothers dissent, flattens alternatives, and enforces a regime of stasis masquerading as stability.
Drawing on a vast range of Cold War-era thought and culture — from the strategic philosophy of Paul Virilio to the haunting dramas of Stephen Poliakoff, the aesthetics of Folk Horror, and the metaphysical critiques of the Kyoto School — this book traces how deterrence became hardwired into governance, ideology, and the feedback loops of Western managerial culture.
At once theoretical and urgent, Empire of Deterrence asks: How did nuclear logic come to rule us? Can we break its psychic grip? And is it still possible to think and act beyond the empire it sustains?

Paperback. Etat : New. A nuclear-extinction unconscious has worked over the last 30 years to 'automate' much political thinking and recuperate it into individualist culture wars that reaffirming the extinction regimesA nuclear-extinction unconscious has worked over the last 30 years to 'automate' much political thinking and recuperate it into individualist culture wars that reaffirming the extinction regimesThis book considers nuclear deterrence as a form of authority. It describes the rise of deterrence in the Anglosphere particularly as the rule of economic law hardened to protect a civilization in its deterministic, automated phase. Nuclear deterrence has increasingly been leveraged against populations to smother politics and protect an absolute stasis with its heart in a cybernetics of human eclipse - helping to explain why, when nuclear war became immanent and taken for granted in the 1990s, much political campaigning began to collapse into culture wars turning politics into currency for an anxious managerial class. Pre-set political values now flow from the world's foremost nuclear power, the US, and its British satellite, relying on a growing sense that conflict is pointless and there is no escape from the feedback loop of performative affirmation. This book resurrects some half-buried Cold War cultural and theoretical resources, from Paul Virilio to Stephen Poliakoff to Folk Horror, and brings up questions of local action and the undoing of the old Anglosphere commercial empire, to ask if there are ways of unthinking deterrence blackmail.
