  The Technological Republic

  Alexander C. Karp is the co-founder and CEO of Palantir Technologies and holds a doctorate in social theory; Nicholas W. Zamiska is the company’s head of corporate affairs.

  In The Technological Republic, Karp and Zamiska argue that Silicon Valley has traded national purpose for consumer convenience, and that the West’s freedom now depends on reuniting engineers with the state. You’ll learn how the tech industry forgot its roots, why AI is the new arms race, why hard power keeps the peace, how elites stopped believing in anything, and what a swarm of bees teaches organizations.

  A note on context: Palantir sells software to defense, intelligence and immigration agencies, and critics, including reviewers for Bloomberg and The New York Review of Books, call the book partly a sales pitch that underplays surveillance and civil-liberties concerns. The authors openly use Palantir’s history to make their case.
