How Silicon Valley took over the military-industrial complex

retained text

Valley of Death by Sharon Weinberger.
Veteran security journalist Weinberger chronicles Silicon Valley’s takeover of the military industrial complex “in uncomfortable detail,” with chilling insights into the intricacies of drones, surveillance systems, and autonomous AI agents, as well as the CEOs and companies behind them.
This “superb new book… describes how the US government has bound itself to the hype and hubris of a heavily financed ‘arsenal of the broligarchy,’” the Los Angeles Review of Books wrote. Buy Valley of Death from your local bookstore.
