On Hype and Hyperwar

Pardee Center Research Associate Collin Meisel and Director Jonathan D. Moyer published a blog post, “On Hype and Hyperwar,” on the US Army’s Mad Scientist Laboratory. The article takes a realistic view of consequential trends likely to transform the Future Operational Environment in the coming decades, such as persistent demographic and economic shifts among great powers and the developing world. Ultimately, the authors encourage readers to eschew science fiction-inspired futurism in favor of empirically-grounded futures studies, striving toward the Pardee Center's vision of a more discernible future.
