The Coming Age of Killer Machines – Hacker Noon

The most terrifying film of the year didn't come from Hollywood. It came from a think tank looking to save us all from killer machines. In the movie's near future dystopia, palm sized drones loaded up with explosives use facial recognition to hunt down and slaughter people with pin point precision. Swarms of the micro murderers tear through congress, massacring Senators based on ideology. Terrorists unleash a horde of the flying monsters into schools to take out the kids of parents who dare to speak out against the threat. What makes it all so horrifying is how close we are to making it a reality.
