review 1: A must read for anyone interested in the future of warfare and how new technology will impact the notion of privacy worldwide. Imagine the hummingbird fluttering its wings outside your 20th-floor apartment has a camera fitted inside and whatever you're doing at that moment is being transmitted. Sound like science fiction? Not. Singer provides an insider's view of how society is being reshaped by the presence and use of drones and other robotics. Packed with information and anecdotes, and written in a style that's a pleasure to read, the book belongs on every thinking person's shelf.
review 2: A good read. Would recommend it for most of the people interested in current affairs/issues relating to conflicts. Parts of the book aren't so good -- such as the potted h... moreistory on urban development etc -- but for someone who hasn't thought about most of this, I found it fascinating. A lot to digest, and a lot to follow up with supplementary reading in certain fields. It seems clear that this is the future, and perhaps sooner than I/we expected. less
