Building on recent insights from assemblage theory and new materialism in IR, the book explores whether technology be an actor in its own right within the international system. Explores how such presupposed agency plays out throughout different registers of the international. The contributions empirically investigate a variety of global issues in which technology has become a key factor and deeply entangled with "classical" human agency. Responds to a gap in the literature: even though IR has long engaged with technology and its importance for war, diplomacy, trade, culture, and the environment, few studies have investigated the relationship between technology and global life in more systematic ways.
