This 'treatise' challenges Deleuze and Guattari's 'nomad war machine' model and retools it for the twenty-first century. The emergent condition of twenty-first century 'war' entails thinking in terms of pure tacticities-mechano-in-organic insinuations of terror, surprise and havoc which, while seemingly event-specific, remain indifferent to, but complicit with/in the very medium in which they are actuated. The emergent embodiment of such insinuations is the SIMAD-a Singularly Intensive Mobile Agencity of Decay-whose primary counter-tactical principle of operation is 'hypercamouflage'
