In The Drone Age Michael J. Boyle addresses some of the biggest questions surrounding the impact of drones on our world today and the risks that we might face tomorrow. Will drones produce a safer world because they reduce risk to pilots or will the prospect of clean remote warfare lead governments to engage in more conflicts Will drones begin to replace humans on the battlefield Will they empower soldiers and peacekeepers to act more precisely and humanely in crisis zones How will terrorist organizations turn this technology back on the governments that fight them And how are drones enhancing surveillance capabilities both at war and at home As advanced drones come into the hands of new actorsforeign governments local law enforcement terrorist organizations humanitarian organizations and even UN peacekeepersit is even more important to understand what kind of world they might produce.
