In Wired for War P. W. Singer explores the greatest revolution in military affairs since the atom bomb-the dawn of robotic warfare. We are on the cusp of a massive shift in military technology that threatens to make real the stuff of 1, Robot and The Terminator. More than twelve thousand robotic systems are now deployed in Iraq. Pilots sitting in Nevada are remotely killing terrorists in Afghanistan. And many renowned science fiction authors are quietly consulting for the Pentagon on the next generation of robotic killers. Blending historical evidence with interviews of an amazing cast of characters, Singer shows how technology is changing not just how wars are fought, but also the politics, economics, laws, and the ethics that surround war itself. While his analysis is unnerving, there's an irresistible gee-whiz quality to the innovations Singer uncovers. In his hands, the future of war is as fascinating as it is frightening.
