"riveting and comprehensive, encompassing every aspect of the rise of military robotics." --
Financial Times In Wired for War, P. W. Singer explores the great.est revolution in military
affairs since the atom bomb: the dawn of robotic warfare. We are on the cusp of a massive shift
in military technology that threatens to make real the stuff of I, Robot and The Terminator.
Blending historical evidence with interviews of an amaz.ing cast of characters, Singer shows how
technology is changing not just how wars are fought, but also the politics, economics, laws, and
the ethics that surround war itself. Traveling from the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan to
modern-day "skunk works" in the midst of suburbia, Wired for War will tantalize a wide readership,
from military buffs to policy wonks to gearheads.

P.W. Singer, director of the 21st Century Defense Initiative at the Brookings Institution,
has worked in the Pentagon and consulted for the departments of Defense and State, the CIA,
and Congress. He is the author of two previous books, Corporate Warriors and Children at War.
