I read this book before his political foray, and this book made me realize, the apathy and doomerism so prevalent in Mexican politics is here in the U.S. too.

If you want an insight as to how warfare is changing this is the book. The author creates a framework in understanding how Automated, Semi-Autonomous, and Full-Autonomous weapons have played a role and are changing the way that warfare is conducted. For now, most military powers want to keep a human on the loop as much as possible, but as the speed of war changes, kicking the human out of the loop may come sooner than later.
