Rezensionen

. . . As Singer explores the issues raised by military robotics meeting with entrepreneurs, engineers and operators, ethicists, and pundits his enthusiasm becomes infectious. With its informal style and cultural references, and because of its topic, Wired for War is a book of its time: this is strategy for the Facebook generation. Foreign Affairs

An engrossing picture of a new class of weapon that may revolutionize future wars. . . Kirkus Reviews
