Critics Review
‘A brilliant and gripping treatise on war in the age of intelligent machines. Payne’s rewrite of Asimov’s Three Laws of Robots to enable them to kill is quite terrifying.’

In advocating thoughtful regulation of autonomous systems, Payne offers his counterpoint to the Asimovesque robot overlords of science fiction: ‘War will remain something that is done by, and to, humans.’
