Re: [P2P-F] [NetworkedLabour] [WSF-Discuss] Human Use of Human Beings by SS. Wiener (1989)
Working on the bomb? Did they understand? Maybe with hindsight. I think they were seduced by Anti-fascism, thanks to being petrified by the Nazis.
And may be we are watching the same movie again, or may be the worse: 'Google’s Artificial Intelligence Speaks, and She’s a Woman' http://tech.co/stephen-hawking-ai-danger-2015-07

Looks like someone is working it on library genesis: http://gen.lib.rus.ec/book/index.php?md5=101466e094b2a80e41ac04474808b20f "Concluding the acclaimed and award-winning trilogy on 'Modes of Foreign Relations and Political Economy', this is a magisterial historical sociology of International Relations theory. In The Discipline of Western Supremacy Kees van der Pijl argues that, from the late European Middle Ages, Anglophone thinkers articulated an imperial world-view which was adopted by aspirant elites elsewhere. Nation-state formation under the auspices of the English-speaking West has henceforth informed thinking about international affairs. After decolonisation the study of comparative politics continued to develop under those same auspices as part of a comprehensive framework. This book, the first of its kind, aims to provide a complete overview of mainstream International Relations as a set of theories which translate Western supremacy into intellectual hegemony." N.B.: it does so also for the other 'disciplines' that were put into dicipline to maintain the dicsipline favouring the Western/Capital's supremacy over all the oppressed peoples and classes.
