I highly recommend it. - Braden Allenby, Arizona State University, USA The international community is increasingly concerned about new war technologies and their implications for ethics and policy. While these discussions are occurring separately worldwide, this book brings together the many strands of discussion for an expert analysis under the lens of a highly respected military general. - Patrick Lin, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, USA General O'Meara has written a remarkable book, brilliantly combining a keen sense of operational knowledge and expertise in the field with legal and moral analysis. A first-rate examination! - Dr. George R. Lucas, Jr., Naval Postgraduate School, USA This is the first book I've seen that tackles the big five technological threats all in one place: nanotech, robotics, cyberwar, human enhancement, and, yes, non-lethal weapons, cleverly weaving a historical, legal, and sociopolitical fabric into a discussion of their development, deployment, and, hopefully, potential regulation. - Ron Arkin, Regents' Professor and Director of the Mobile Robot Laboratory, Associate Dean for Research and Space Planning, College of Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA Author InformationVisiting Faculty, Division of Global Affairs, Rutgers University, USA Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
