Synopsis:
Once, Silicon Valley's brightest minds collaborated with the government to create world-changing technologies, securing the West's dominant place in the geopolitical order. But that relationship has eroded, leading to a market that rewards shallow tech engagement. Karp and Zamiska offer a searing critique of this complacency, arguing that the U.S. must reclaim its ambition in technology to stay ahead of emerging global challenges, including the artificial intelligence arms race. They call for a return to bold leadership and the preservation of ideological confrontation to ensure global dominance and freedom.

Readers interested in technology, politics, and global affairs. Ideal for those seeking a deep dive into the current state of Silicon Valley, its relationship with government, and how a renewed commitment to ambition can secure the West’s future.
