Critics Review
‘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.
