\n INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER \u2022 \u201cA cri de coeur that takes aim at the tech industry for abandoning its history of helping America and its allies.\u201d\u2014The Wall Street Journal<\/p>\n

From the Palantir co-founder, one of Time\u2019s 100 Most Influential People of 2025, and his deputy, a critically-acclaimed and sweeping indictment of the West\u2019s culture of complacency, arguing that timid leadership, intellectual fragility, and an unambitious view of technology\u2019s potential in Silicon Valley have made the U.S. vulnerable in an era of mounting global threats<\/p>\n

\u201cNot since Allan Bloom\u2019s astonishingly successful 1987 book The Closing of the American Mind\u2014more than one million copies sold\u2014has there been a cultural critique as sweeping as Karp\u2019s.\u201d\u2014George F. Will, The Washington Post<\/p>\n

Silicon Valley has lost its way.<\/p>\n

Our most brilliant engineering minds once collaborated with government to advance world-changing technologies. Their efforts secured the West\u2019s dominant place in the geopolitical order. But that relationship has now eroded, with perilous repercussions.<\/p>\n

Today, the market rewards shallow engagement with the potential of technology. Engineers and founders build photo-sharing apps and marketing algorithms, unwittingly becoming vessels for the ambitions of others. This complacency has spread into academia, politics, and the boardroom. The result? An entire generation for whom the narrow-minded pursuit of the demands of a late capitalist economy has become their calling.<\/p>\n

In this groundbreaking treatise, Palantir co-founder and CEO Alexander C. Karp and Nicholas W. Zamiska offer a searing critique of our collective abandonment of ambition, arguing that in order for the U.S. and its allies to retain their global edge\u2014and preserve the freedoms we take for granted\u2014the software industry must renew its commitment to addressing our most urgent challenges, including the new arms race of artificial intelligence. The government, in turn, must embrace the most effective features of the engineering mindset that has propelled Silicon Valley\u2019s success.<\/p>\n

Above all, our leaders must reject intellectual fragility and preserve space for ideological confrontation. A willingness to risk the disapproval of the crowd, Karp and Zamiska contend, has everything to do with technological and economic outperformance.<\/p>\n

At once iconoclastic and rigorous, this book 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.
