Patrick Barb liked John's review of Helicopter Parenting in the Age of Drone Warfare: "This is a story about a man and his son before it is anything else. Barb puts the love of a father on the leash of technology. His son is just out of reach on this electronic tether. How does a father know when he's lost his child?"
