Reviews

Drones are everywhere in contemporary life and with these new perspectives there has been a dramatic change in visual culture from warfare to entertainment. Drone Cultures analyzes this fast-moving phenomenon from every conceivable angle. Muthyala’s timely critique examines these devices, their myriad uses, and their cultural imaginaries while cracking wide open the aporia between the drone’s entanglement with ‘dominance, destruction, and death’ and ‘creativity, research, and education.’ -- James E. Dobson, Associate Professor of English and Creative Writing, Dartmouth College, USA. Author of 'The Birth of Computer Vision'
