When Language Compiles (en Inglés) - Martine M. Osias

What happens when the darkest edges of our language become the operating instructions for our machines?

This book unmasks the metaphors quietly laundered through technical practice - words of war, contagion, and social predation that shape how systems are imagined, built, and justified.

Each chapter tracks a category of linguistic capture:

   War - retaliation, siege, sabotage, encirclement - hostility presented as as routine procedure.

   Biological metaphors - heartbeat, infection, mutation, decay - language that animates machines as living, sick, or dying.

   Social-behavior metaphors - gossip, eavesdropping, harassment, bystander traffic - protocol language that encodes rumor, surveillance, and complicity as neutral design choices.

Using a samplet set of terms to show Language repurposing, the book reveals a concealed architecture: a working lexicon that masks violence, disease, and social harm by binding them to machines. This is not intended as a glossary; it is an exposure and a warning. Every metaphor is a signal. Every signal reaches someone.

When the language of war, disease, and cruelty becomes the default vocabulary of technology, it ceases to be neutral. Those metaphors authorize damage, hide harm, and bend minds toward violence-then teach us to accept the result. This drift is neither inevitable nor harmless, and it could have been avoided. It must be reversed now.
