"Jake Wells"

Jake Wells is portrayed as having an almost religious relationship to his camera-enabled drone. He sees himself as a "flesh pilot". "Your flesh is not who you are. You are flying that flesh (..) My body is just completely a rock, it’s not even moving, it’s just sitting there, you know." At one point, the film cuts to a static, wide shot showing Wells sitting at a table on his deck, drone parts spread out before him. He speaks to the camera, explaining his ideas about the drones. He sees the drone as being a body he can inhabit, just as he inhabits his body of flesh, and for him, this comparison is religious: ‘When Jesus comes back, he’s going to give us a new body,’ he explains. His body is broken, just as his drone is broken, he explains, but both his flesh body and his drone can be repaired or replaced.
