Is Silicon Valley losing its way? This book is a wake-up call for tech entrepreneurs and a sweeping indictment of Silicon Valley's drift from national purpose. Karp and Zamiska argue that the West's complacency and the tech industry's focus on trivial consumer products endanger American values and security. Discover how a renewed commitment to addressing existential threats and a collaboration between the technology sector and the state can help the U.S. and its allies maintain preeminence in the age of AI. Explore the critical role Silicon Valley can and should play in the reinvention of a national project, and the advancement of individual rights. This book prompts a discussion about the shared vision of community in an era of increasing technological change and risk, and what needs to be built, and why.
