The Technological Republic

**THE SUNDAY TIMES AND #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER**

A sweeping indictment of the West's culture of complacency and a passionate call to wake up to our new reality from the bold thinkers behind tech giant Palantir

'The Technological Republic is far too important to ignore' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT

Our most brilliant engineering minds once collaborated with government to advance world-changing technologies. Their efforts secured the West's dominant place in the geopolitical order. But that relationship has now eroded, with perilous repercussions.

In this ground-breaking treatise, one of tech's 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 edge?and preserve the freedoms we take for granted?the 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 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.
