Drone Society addresses political and war conflicts in the year 2035, from the fictional point of view: a society of social and economic extremes; surveillance drones that spread terror; a technological world in which Artificial Intelligence, paper-eating viruses, conspiracies and weaponry of all kinds are used by the mega-powerful China and America in the name of eternal classics of human existence ― money, hatred, power hunger, egocentrism versus resilience, idealism and loyalty of some humans. Will drones and robots beat humanity? Be aware! Drone-brother is watching you!
