The book demonstrates how cultural and emotional knowledge, made salient in aesthetic drone imaginaries, can provide an understanding of the effects of drone technology on human communities. Each chapter raises questions about the political function of art (resistance, critical reflection, intervention) that engages with drone technology, remote surveillance, processes of automation, as well as drone warfare.
