Description: Operation Valhalla collects eighteen texts by German media theorist Friedrich Kittler on the close connections between war and media technology.

Review Quotes: "The preeminent thinker of media in the past half century, Friedrich Kittler speaks to deep concerns of the digital age in a voice that is philosophical, wry, learned, obscure, indirect, profound, and always stimulating. To read him is to have your neurons rearranged. Kittler's work is essential."--John Durham Peters, coauthor of "Promiscuous Knowledge: Information, Image, and Other Truth Games in History"
