[ 242 ] The Future inverting it can be complementary. Maybe we don't have to do away totally with warriors (and how can we resist being cyborgs?), but cyborg-soldiers, autonomous weapons, war managers, and technobureaucrats seem much less inevitable. These are times of great change, so there are possibilities. They are just not simple.
War and Peace 2000 Chapter Thirteen Between Horrific Apocalypse and Utopian Dream Postmodern war seems to be coming to an end yet to be determined. Currently, war's prospects oscillate between two very different poles: some form of horrific apocalypse or the even less likely possibility of general disarmament and peace. 1 A dynamic fluctuation between them might mean a limited nuclear war or biological attack, with deaths in the millions, that would precipitate a general reevaluation of political realities. Without that "shock treatment" scenario we can expect a low level of continual horrors leading (at best) gradually to the kind of fundamental changes necessary for humanity to survive. It is almost a choice between a postwar world and a postcivilization one. However the conversation, the discourse of postmodern war goes, we will all have some say- Postmodern war is a discourse for two reasons. First, its unity is rhetorical. It is by virtue of the metaphors and symbols that structure it, not by any direct continuity of weapons, tactics, or strategy between its various manifestations. A central metarule is "change." Once postmodern war ceases its incessant mutation it will no longer be postmodern war, and it may not be war at all. Second, it can be described as a culture. Ideas, material artifacts (especially weapons), people, and institutions are all jumbled together. The working out of what actually happens to this jumble very much resembles a conversation, all the more so since much, but certainly not all, of what happens is done with words, either written or spoken, and since the main actors (though not the only ones) and most of the judges (especially of definitions) are humans. Looking at war as a discourse helps explain some of postmodern war's novel features. The most important of these is the centrality of information to power and rhetoric to knowledge. A discourse analysis also points to why shifting rules about bodies-machines and about gender are so crucial to understanding postmodern war. Finally, the discourse metaphor helps reveal some things about the possible future of war that are not readily apparent, [ 243 ]
