Based on real-life testimonies, Grégoire Chamayou examines how drone technology transforms the figure of the combatant, the notion of the battlefield, and the very ethics of armed conflict. The reader will find a profound reflection on the implications of a war fought from a distance, where the operator, stationed at a base thousands of miles away, observes and executes attacks with unprecedented coldness. An essential work for understanding the new face of military violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work begins with a disturbing premise: the words of a drone operator in Nevada searching for a perfect target. From there, Chamayou dissects the logic of remote warfare. He analyzes how the elimination of physical proximity between the attacker and the victim redefines concepts such as self-defense, risk, and responsibility. The book explores the transformation of the soldier into a video game operator, total surveillance as a hunting tool, and the creation of a new type of sovereignty no longer based on territorial control, but on the ability to eliminate targets anywhere on the planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePhilosophy of war and remote violence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTransformation of the combatant into a remote operator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eEthics of drone strikes and their legal implications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGlobal surveillance and sovereignty in the 21st century.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePsychology of the drone operator and moral detachment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in political philosophy, contemporary military theory, studies on armed conflict, and ethics applied to technology.

Chamayou combines philosophical analysis with concrete examples, achieving an accessible text without losing depth. Its main value lies in providing the reader with the keys to understand a phenomenon that, far from being a mere technological novelty, redefines the foundations of political violence and morality in the 21st century. Essential reading for those who seek to go beyond the headlines and understand the real implications of the drone as an instrument of power.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NED EDICIONES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53407585239387,"sku":"9788494353000","price":22.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978849435300.jpg?v=1781857056","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788494353000","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
