His research interests are:
- Postmodern politics: war and the possibilities for peace. I am especially interested in the relationship between technoscience and postmodern political institutions and processes, such as the evolution of democracy, nation-state devolution, empire, institutional and cultural internationalism, leadership, and the resurgence of nationalism and tribalism, all addressed in Peace, War, and Computers (Routledge, 2005). Now starting a new project on technology, social change, and national identity focused on Spain, Argentina and Cuba.
- Information theory. The book Infoisms: Aphorisms on Information, is underway and Sue Golding is submitting it to Routledge for her series Virus.
- Political, Artistic and Ethical implications of cyborgs. This work continues with such topics as brain monitoring and control technologies, art theory and practice, leaders and innovation, and writing on my NASA research on human-machine integration in space exploration, NASA and the Cyborg (forthcoming). I am working with Jennifer Gonzalez on a Cyborgs and Race art exhibit and also on Cyborg Squared, a meta-exhibit about previous cyborg art exhibits.
- An ongoing interest in computer-assisted learning, in information technology and business, and many other practical issues of human-computer communication is reflected in my work as a consultant and writer in the computer industry and my on-line and multimedia courses and presentations such as the Cyborg Database project (cyborgdb.org) and my work helping students rewrite Wikipedia.
- Social action research on the role of ethics and service in professional responsibility and definitions of citizenship including teaching cyber and bioethics to science students.
