The Peripheral - Book Review
The Peripheral, by William Gibson, is a SF novel that takes place mostly in the near future - where drones and 3D printing are very common.
I say mostly because it has an interesting little time travel component, in which paradoxes are nicely avoided.
The peripherals are telepresence machines that you can use the experience other places, instantly, in a human-like package or various other similar forms.
I thought the beginning was a bit slow, but overall a pretty good read. The near tech in particular is very convincing.
