Wired for War: The Robotics Revolution and Conflict in the 21st Century

摘要

Wired for War is a world away from P. W. Singer's previous book Children at War, in which he proposed ways to halt such a horrible practice. This latest venture, a study of the use of robotics in combat, could be taken as futuristic, with Singer enticing his readers to be swept up by the excitement of using advanced technology on and over the battlefield-or on and under water. The author points out early on that many robot systems are already working the battlefields of today's conflicts. Filling a market need, they appear in ever-growing numbers that could equal those operating in domestic service and industry.
