Throughout the course of history, technology and the military have been intertwined. The military has employed
technologies
to defeat enemies in battle as the military which manifests the superior
technologies usually wins the war. In more present times, however, distinctions between the military and its technologies are less apparent. As a result, humans perceive the two as a merged glommule, each dependent on the other. While human historians attempt to explain the history of military technologies from a mechanical and mathematical viewpoint, a robot
historian can instead trace the impacts of new technologies on human evolution. The paper explains that this enables the robot historian to regard his lineage in a non-anthropocentric inclination which sees the new military technologies as independent of mankind. The paper examines how Manuel DeLanda presents this viewpoint of the history of military technologies in his book "War In the Age of Intelligent Machines".
