Paperback. Zustand: Good. 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. Flying cars that can land like helicopters, artificial intelligence-powered drones that can fly into buildings and map their interiors, microsatellites that can see through clouds and monitor rogue missile sites?all these and more are becoming part of America?s DIU-fast-tracked arsenal.

Today, it is an urgent necessity.…
