I remember when in NY, a colleague of Matroid's talking about an idea for a screenplay, in which the police used modern day blimps to chase a guy on rooftops. That would be really effing cool, right? Well, if the military is already developing these, then we aren't far away from something very close to that concept. Imagine roving surveillance drones in major cities, with very low upkeep costs, using high winds, watching our every move. So I must urge scientists everywhere to not sell ideas to the military. I know they pay the best, but fight for the life of man, not the surveillance of man.

Like the off-world colony blimp from Blade Runner.
the series he is talking about is Channel Zero. I haven't read it, but the good Doctor has been looking to acquire that property for some time.
