Against the backdrop of an increasingly dynamic world driven by rapid digital innovation and technological advances, drones are becoming prolific within society. Andy Miah delivers in this book a comprehensive analysis of the wide-reaching applications of drones, as well as a critical interrogation of the social, cultural, and moral issues that they provoke. He asks: are drones indicative of a world in which humanity is rapidly losing control of technology? Or do drones simply reveal the next iteration in human/machine symbiosis? Delving into philosophical discussions about the implications of drone technology, this book also shines a light on the real-world applications, complications and innovative potential which might be posed by a world in which drones are commonplace in our daily lives.

Industry Reviews

'In remarkably short compass, Andy Miah has managed to present the most rounded view of drone technology currently in print. Virtually every aspect of drones -- from the mechanics and economics of their design to their use in warfare, entertainment and art -- is discussed with expert brevity and perspicuity. Arguably it is the only book available that could be read productively by anyone, regardless of the nature of their interest in drones.' -- Steve Fuller, University of Warwick, Author of Humanity 2.0.
