**THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER** **THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** A sweeping indictment of the Wests culture of complacency and a passionate call to wake up to our new reality from the bold thinkers behind tech giant Palantir Our most brilliant engineering minds once collaborated with government to advance world-changing technologies. Their efforts secured the Wests dominant place in the geopolitical order. But that relationship has now eroded, with perilous repercussions. In this groundbreaking treatise, one of techs boldest thinkers and his longtime deputy offer a searing critique of our collective abandonment of ambition. Palantir co-founder and CEO Alexander C. Karp and Nicholas W. Zamiska argue that in order for the West to retain its global edgeand preserve the freedoms we take for grantedthe software industry must renew its commitment to addressing our most urgent challenges, including the new arms race of artificial intelligence. At once iconoclastic and rigorous, this books also lifts the veil on tech giant Palantir and its broader political project from the inside, offering a passionate call for the West to wake up to our new reality. A rallying cry, as we enter the age of artificial intelligence, for a return to World War II era co-operationA fascinating and important work WALTER ISAACSON.
