The Game of Drones (Pre-Order)

In Game of Drones in Our Future Cities, Tom Caska brings together aviation, technology, and humanity in a story that moves from personal tragedy to global transformation. The book traces his own near-death experience, breaking his neck in a freak accident near Cairns, and how it sparked a journey from airline pilot to drone-tech pioneer, shaping the future of mobility and smarter, safer cities.

Through chapters that explore urban design, air corridors, workforce transitions, sovereignty, and climate resilience, the narrative blends storytelling with policy, science, and innovation. From the evolution of vertiports and electric air taxis to STEM education and citizen science, Caska argues that the third dimension, airspace, isn’t just a frontier for drones but a lifeline for the planet’s growing cities.

It’s a manifesto for how we live, move, and rebuild after crisis: a call to reimagine the sky as infrastructure, powered by purpose, people, and data.
