This is a solidly researched book that aims to unpack the affective ecology of sonic warfare.
This book demonstrate what a good literature review looks like, for Goodman draws from a plethora of philosophers (e.g. Friedrich Kittler, Kodwo Eshun, Paul Virilio, Gilles Deleuze, and Alfred North Whitehead, to name but a few) as a means to glean his method to map sonic warfare. Even though I found myself with more questions than answers by the end of this book - and most of my questions have to do with the fact that he gives the system he constructs more agency than the individuals enmeshed within the system - this is a good read that helpfully demonstrates theories of pre-personal affect within sonic and aural contexts.
