Robot soldiers are no longer just the stuff of sci-fi fantasy. As technological warfare expert P.W. Singer explains in his new book, Wired For War, some military tasks previously assigned to humans are now being handled by machines.

Singer is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. His previous books include Corporate Warriors and Children at War.
