Arc 1.4: Forever Alone Drone by Sumit Paul-Choudhury, Simon Ings, Frank Swain, Madeline Ashby, Jack Womack, Bruce Sterling, Liz Jensen, Robert Reed, Kim Stanley Robinson, Nancy Kress
Explore the technological wilderness with Forever alone drone, your 180-page companion to the world of tomorrow. We admire the rapid spread of our increasingly paranoid surveillance culture, and spotlight some of its more unexpected and playful possibilities. We hear from the isolationists building a digital fortress in Iceland's wilderness, and from an American trapped inside a hostile America. We see ultraliters heeding the call of the wild, and follow urbexers as they navigate the surfaces of our forbidden cities.

We tell stories, too: of the all-too-human angels that care for the dead, and the all-too-inhuman speculators who police on the living; of a man whose cameras rob him of everything, and a woman who saves everyone with a phone call; of brides and casual bedfellows, their different lives mediated through the lenses of machines that isolate us from each other, even as they bind us closer together.

Feeling lonely? Look around you. In the world of the future, you are never - never - alone.
