Question

Write a summary of chapter 11 of the book "Wired for War: The Robotics Revolution and Conflict in the 21st Century" (Maximum 130 words)

Answer 1

Wired for War drags the reader on a journey to meet various players in a strange new world of war where odd-ball roboticists working in latter-day skunk works in the midst of suburbia military pilots flying combat mission from their office cubicles outside Las Vegas , he Iraqi insurgents who are their targets, journalists trying to figure out just how to cover robots at war; and human rights activists wrestling with what is right and wrong in a world where our wars are increasingly being handed over to machines.

All these new unmanned technologies will bring war closer to our doorsteps, including even with videos of battles downloaded for entertainment. But Singer also proves that our enemies will not settle for fighting our high-tech proxies on their own turf.

There is an irresistible gee-whiz quality to what Singer uncovers and the people he meets along the way. It is packed with cutting edge research and hard to get interviews of everyone from four star Army generals and Middle East leaders to reclusive science fiction authors. WIRED FOR WAR is as fascinating as it is frightening.
