Drones are in the air. In civil society they are used for rescue, surveillance, transport and leisure. And on the battlefield they have radically changed the way wars are fought due to their promises of remote protection and surgical precision. Yet, often overlooked in this optimism are questions about how drones impact our human identity and our communities. This book addresses these questions from a humanities point of view by investigating how civilian and military drones are represented in visual arts and literature. With its strong focus on aesthetics, the book intensifies the cultural study of drones and widen the discussion of how drones are changing our societies. The essays enter into dialogue with current drone researchers and will be curious to scholars, lecturers and students interested in drones and new technologies from a humanities or social science perspective.
