Description :

Technology will make killing a thing of the past. The gun is antiquated

technology, and it is responsible for tens of thousands of senseless killings

every year. Humanity has accepted that killing is an unavoidable fact of life -

but Rick Smith argues that it doesn 8217 t need to be this way and that we

have the means to make the bullet obsolete in our lifetime. Smith is the

founder of TASER (now Axon), and in this book, he demonstrates that we are

on the cusp of a world in which killing is neither required nor acceptable. That

change won't come by way of stricter gun control laws. No, what holds us back

from making an overdue and necessary shift in how we think about weapons is

our skepticism about new technologies and their potential. Smith has devoted

his career to understanding why and how we kill each other. In The End of

Killing, he reviews the history of weaponry and warfare as well as the latest

technologies in crowd control, surveillance, and artificial intelligence. He

delves into the big, thorny questions about how technology is creating more

tools for police, homeland security, and military, and offering more options for

our personal safety and our justice system. With clarity and conviction, he

challenges the conventional wisdom on these subjects, showing how

technologies that appear strange and scary at first can be the key to making

the gun a relic of the past. In our current impasse of dead-end debates about

gun violence and police brutality, Smith offers us a clear roadmap into a safer

future. Thought-provoking, insightful, and controversial, The End of Killing will

make you reconsider the violent world you inhabit - and imagine the safer

world on the horizon.
