**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. 'A rallying cry ... Fascinating and
important' WALTER ISAACSON 'Bold and ambitious ... Essential reading' ERIC SCHMIDT
