Title: Warrior GeeksISBN: 978-1-84904-254-3
Publisher: Hurst and Company
Hardcover
Pages: 330
Coker’s book focuses on the potential eradication of the
Homeric warrior as a result of the advancement of science and technology. That
is to say, he discusses the human element of the war fighter being subsumed by biologically
and technologically enhanced soldiers, devoid or incapable of the warrior
ethos/ethic and the human character that is an inherent part of who we are.
This is not an easy read, nor does it leave one feeling particularly
comfortable; it is not meant to. It raises disturbing, challenging and
fundamental questions that have not been addressed. A very thought provoking
book. Recommended.
