The Technological Republic (Crown Currency)
Friday, 07 March 2025

In this book, subtitled "Hard Power, Soft Belief, and the Future of the West",  Alexander C. Karp and Nicholas W. Zamiska, co-founder and his deputy at Palantir argue that timid leadership, intellectual fragility, and an unambitious view of technology’s potential in Silicon Valley have made the U.S. vulnerable in an era of mounting global threats.

<ASIN:B0D4HRY3R6 >

They say that in order for the U.S. and its allies to retain their global edge—and preserve the freedoms we take for granted—the software industry must renew its commitment to addressing our most urgent challenges, including the new arms race of artificial intelligence. The government, in turn, must embrace the most effective features of the engineering mindset that has propelled Silicon Valley’s success.
