This volume's contributors offer a new critical language through
which to explore and assess the historical, juridical,
geopolitical, and cultural dimensions of drone technology and
warfare. They show how drones generate particular ways of
visualizing the spaces and targets of war while acting as tools to
exercise state power. Essays include discussions of the legal
justifications of extrajudicial killings and how US drone strikes
in the Horn of Africa impact life on the ground, as well as a
personal narrative of a former drone operator. The contributors
also explore drone warfare in relation to sovereignty, governance,
and social difference; provide accounts of the relationships
between drone technologies and modes of perception and mediation;
and theorize drones' relation to biopolitics, robotics, automation,
and art. Interdisciplinary and timely, Life in the Age of Drone
Warfare extends the critical study of drones while expanding the
public discussion of one of our era's most ubiquitous instruments
of war. Contributors. Peter Asaro, Brandon Wayne Bryant, Katherine
