The book challenges traditional ideas of sovereignty centered around the nation-state, and develops a theory of geopolitics that accounts for sovereignty in terms of planetary-scale computation at various scales. Later in 2015, The Stack: On Software and Sovereignty was published by MIT Press. In the description by Sternberg Press the book is " kaleidoscopic theory-fiction" which "links the utopian fantasies of political violence with the equally utopian programs of security and control."
It launched publicly at the 2016 edition of the Transmediale festival in Berlin. His 2015 book Dispute Plan to Prevent Future Luxury Constitution was published by e-flux Journal and Sternberg Press in 2015. In 2017 Bratton completed The New Normal an ebook for Strelka Press which outlines the radical effects that technology is having on our world and describes the emerging forms of city that we should now be designing for. His current work develops a political theory of planetary-scale computation and draws from disparate sources, from Paul Virilio, Michel Serres, and Carl Schmitt, to Alan Turing, Google Earth, and IPv6. In his article, "iPhone City (v.2005)" Bratton was early to demonstrate the impact that cinematic user interfaces for mobile social media would have on urban design. His lecture, "Surviving the Interface: the Envelopes, Membranes and Borders of Deep Cosmopolitics" considers the emergence of new forms of sovereignty derived from shared digital and urban infrastructures, and the challenges they pose to conventional understandings of architectural partitions and national borders. PublicationsĪmong his most recent work, his article "On Geoscapes & Google Caliphate: Except #Mumbai" examines the correspondence of political theology and planetary computation as modes of political geography. In 2016 he succeeded Rem Koolhaas, as programme director of Strelka Institute a Moscow-based think-tank and post-graduate program in architecture, media and design. Since 2014, he is Professor of Philosophy of Design at European Graduate School in Saas-Fee, Switzerland. He founded University of California, San Diego's Speculative Design undergraduate major. He was previously Director of the Advanced Strategies Group at Yahoo!.
He taught in the Department of Design | Media Arts at UCLA from 2003-2008. Before moving to University of California, San Diego, Bratton taught at the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles from 2001–2010, and is now Visiting Faculty. in the Sociology of Technology from the University of California, Santa Barbara. Bratton was born in Los Angeles, California in 1968, and holds a PhD.
