From the founding of the American republic through much of the twentieth century, our most brilliant engineering minds and the democratic state collaborated to advance world-changing technologies. This partnership ensured the West's dominant place in the geopolitical order. But that relationship has now eroded, with perilous repercussions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe modern incarnation of Silicon Valley turned its focus to the consumer market, including the construction of elaborate online advertising and social media platforms. The market rewarded shallow engagement with the potential of technology, as startup after startup catered to the whims of capitalist culture with little interest in constructing the technology that would address our most significant challenges. A generation of extraordinarily talented engineers, insulated from the geopolitical threats of the moment, built photo-sharing apps and marketing algorithms at the expense of projects with the potential to serve a more pressing collective or national purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this groundbreaking and provocative treatise, Alexander C. Karp, co-founder and chief executive officer of Palantir Technologies, and Nicholas W. Zamiska, head of corporate affairs at the company, offer a searing critique of our collective abandonment of creative and cultural ambition. They argue that in order for the West to maintain its geopolitical advantage—and the freedoms that we take for granted—the software industry must redirect its attention to our most urgent challenges and rebuild its relationship with government.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt will be the union of the state and the software industry—not their separation and disentanglement—that will be required for the United States and its allies to remain as dominant in this century as they were in the last. The public will forgive many failures of government and the political class. But the electorate will not overlook a systemic inability to harness technology for the purpose of effectively advancing our welfare and security.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKarp and Zamiska argue that a democratic public's commitment to free speech, in particular—to preserving space for ideological confrontation and a rejection of intellectual fragility—has everything to do with technological and economic outperformance. An entire generation is at risk of unwittingly becoming a product, a vessel for the ambitions of others, deprived of the opportunity to form authentic and independent beliefs about the world. At once iconoclastic and rigorous, \u003cem\u003eThe Technological Republic\u003c\/em\u003e will also lift the veil on Palantir and its broader political project from the inside, offering a passionate call for the West to wake up to our new reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gardners Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45949387178220,"sku":"9781847928528","price":48.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781847928528.jpg?v=1732735793"},{"product_id":"the-technological-republic-by-nicholas-wzamiska-9781847928535","title":"The Technological Republic","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom one of tech's boldest thinkers and his longtime deputy, this is a sweeping indictment of Silicon Valley and a treatise on how the West has slid into a culture of complacency – even as we enter a new era of mounting global threats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur most brilliant engineering minds once collaborated with government to advance world-changing technologies.
