Most weapons in themselves are not good or evil; their morality turns on the motives and purposes for the war itself. Threats to international peace and security include the proliferation of weapons of mass destructions, rogue nations, and international terrorism.

This book argues that the response to these challenges to world stability is through embracing new military technologies such as drones, autonomous robots, and cyber weapons. These new weapons can send a strong message without causing death or severe personal injury, and as a result can make war less, rather than more, destructive.
