About the Book: In this compelling account, journalist Sharon Weinberger examines how tech leaders such as Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Alexander Karp are reshaping Silicon Valley’s relationship with American national security. Tracing the origins of the technology industry’s ties to the Pentagon and CIA, the book explores how companies such as SpaceX, Palantir and Anduril have become influential players in defence through artificial intelligence, cloud computing, advanced drones and other military technologies. As power shifts from government institutions to private corporations, this thought-provoking investigation reveals the growing influence of Big Tech on military strategy, intelligence and national defence, raising important questions about power, accountability and the future of warfare.
