Reviews

From the book reviews:“Boothby writes in an engaging and accessible style, providing a rigorous, scholarly analysis of the issues, while still presenting the material in a clear and comprehensible manner – for those among us who may not understand the technical minutiae of autonomous weaponry or cyber warfare. … Boothby has provided us with a dynamic and engaging text that seeks to highlight some of the key issues that will no doubt form the basis of much debate for decades to come.” (Emily Crawford, British Yearbook of International Law, Vol. 84, January, 2015)
