Synopsis

Drones are in the newspaper, on the TV screen, and swarming through the networks. But what are drones? The word encompasses everything from toys to weapons. And yet, as broadly defined as they are, the word "drone" fills many of us with a sense of technological dread.

In this book, we'll cut through the mystery, the unknown, and the political posturing, and talk about what drones really are. We'll discover what technologies are out there, and what's coming next. We'll look at how we talk about drones, and how we represent them culturally. What we'll find is that drones are not as scary as they appear―but they are complicated. In drones, we find the strange relationship that humans form to their new technology. And these types of drones are swarming.
