Jonathon Weiss's book offers a piercing exploration of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) industry, drawing parallels to the chaotic descent into savagery depicted in William Golding's "Lord of the Flies." In this deep dive, Weiss meticulously chronicles the evolution of UAVs in the United States, from their early development to their current state, where drones are increasingly used for nefarious purposes. He exposes the industry's glaring mistakes and oversights, underscoring how the absence of standardized laws, protocols, and regulations has led to a landscape fraught with challenges.
Despite the life-saving potential that originally drew Weiss into the UAV field as a responder nearly a decade ago, he paints a vivid picture of an industry at war with itself, often prioritizing internal conflicts over collaborative efforts to create practical, life-saving solutions. This book is both a critical history and a cautionary tale, urging the industry to confront its internal strife and address the growing misuse of UAV technology before it spirals further out of control.
