Jairus Grove’s work so far has centered on the ecology and future of global warfare.he is interested in the ways war continues to expand, bringing an ever greater collection of participants and technologies into the gravitational pull of violent conflict. He is also interested in various approaches to global relations such as systems theory, cybernetics, and complexity theory, as well as the role new media play in altering the interface with global relations. In my spare time, I collect vinyl and co-edit The Contemporary Condition with William E. Connolly.
