Standing on the edge of a cliff with your eyes closed

An excellent review of Stephen Graham's "Cities Under Siege":
'Graham outlines a number of dystopian scenarios here, including one in which "swarms of tiny, armed drones, equipped with advanced sensors and communicating with each other, will thus be deployed to loiter permanently above the streets, deserts, and highways" of cities around the world, moving us toward a future where "militarized techniques of tracking and targeting must permanently colonize the city landscape and the spaces of everyday life." '
To anyone claiming this is a cheap shot at the uneducated: many of these posters complain about the language of others, often with racist overtones.
