Description
Diversity win, pay pigs and prayer warriors! This drone strike was launched by a gamer. In the final part of our Drone Strike series, Kenny and Virgil talk about how, as their recruitment numbers plummet, the US Department of Defense has made modern relationships with Silly-con Valley. Breaking down the summits with Google, to the hands shaken on university campuses and in start-up open plan offices, your They-Devils reflect on what led us here, and what we can expect to come hurtling at us, piloted by an Xbox Controller.
