The Sunday Times and #1 New York Times Bestseller
Silicon Valley’s brightest minds once collaborated with governments to advance technologies, securing the West’s dominance on the global stage. But that relationship has corroded – with perilous repercussions for us all.
Lifting the veil on tech giant Palantir and its broader political project, visionary co-founder and CEO Alexander C. Karp and his long-time deputy Nicholas W. Zamiska offer a searing critique of our collective culture of complacency. To regain geopolitical power and preserve our freedoms, we must tackle the world’s most pressing challenges – including the artificial intelligence arms race – together and head-on. Now is the time for the West to wake up.

Oh no, your rush for anything but the good
Brilliant in the introduction of ideas of the future, the wastelands of the app era, the genius of aligning a ‘belief’ that this was the creative capitalist work of the best of us; yes the making of money through tinsel.
The so called collapse of ‘western civilisation’ where Churchill stands as one who defines a state and Gandhi doesn’t. Hmmm - as Gandhi said on being asked what he thought of western civilisation- he responded, yes, wouldn’t it be nice…. I don’t think the writer gets it. There wasn’t a grand colonist era. They were flawed almost totally for the other…
The distaste of young Australian’s (eg) to the USA could be thought of as ‘your hate for others’ - that’s how we saw you even as we laughed at everything’F Troop’ presented.
And on - and here,again, the authors focus on the one animating consistency of the US purpose: being the very best at war with weapons of war and places to test your creativity- some slaughter house somewhere. The trick here is your flock is off licking the sugar of success
