Abstract

 Critical review of Kathrin Maurer’s The Sensorium of the Drone and Communities, published by MIT Press in 2023. The review examines the book as a cultural theory of
the drone, focusing on the links between sensoriality, aesthetics, technical mediation, imagined communities and power disputes in mediatized everyday life.
