Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Shortlisted for the 2024 Financial Times Business Book of the Year ?An exceedingly important book!? ?General David Petraeus, US Army (Ret.), former Director of the CIA ?Essential reading for understanding how technology will change the future of warfare.? ?Chris Miller, New York Times bestselling author of Chip War ?Inspiring. A riveting reminder of how hard protecting our nation?s security can be?A must-read.? ?Walter Isaacson, New York Times bestselling author Steve Jobs and Elon Musk A compelling inside look at an elite unit within the Pentagon?the Defense Innovation Unit, also known as Unit X?whose mission is to bring Silicon Valley?s cutting-edge technology to America?s military: from the two men who launched the unit.A vast and largely unseen transformation of how war is fought as profound as the invention of gunpowder or advent of the nuclear age is occurring.

Taking us inside AI labs, drone workshops, and battle command centers?and, also, overseas to Ukraine?s frontlines?Shah and Kirchhoff paint a fascinating picture of what it takes to stay dominant in a fast-changing and often precarious geopolitical landscape. In an era when America?s chief rival, China, has ordered that all commercial firms within its borders make their research and technology available for military exploitation, strengthening the relationship between Washington and Silicon Valley was always advisable. Today, it is an urgent necessity.…
