Drone Theory is Gregoire Chamayou's poignant and sharply argued
polemic against US drone warfare. In 2011 alone, the US deployed
one drone strike every four days in Pakistan. Drone Theory is a
rigorous polemic against the increasing use of robot warfare around
the world. Drawing on philosophical debate, moral lessons from
Greek mythology and transcripts of conversations between drone
operators, Drone Theory re-evaluates the socio-political impact of
drone warfare on the world - and its people. Chamayou takes us
through Nevada, Pakistan and arresting philosophical terrain to
reveal how drones are changing the landscape of war theory and to
highlight the profound moral implications of our own silence in the
face of drone warfare. Born in 1976, Gregoire Chamayou is a
philosopher at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in
Paris and the author of Les corps vils and Manhunts: A
Philosophical History. Chamayou also lectures at Universite de
Paris Ouest, and has written for Le Monde Diplomatique among other
publications. Janet Lloyd has translated over seventy books from
French to English and has twice been awarded the Scott Moncrieff
prize.
