The Technological Republic Spiral-Bound | 2025-02-18

"This book is a rallying cry, as we enter the age of artificial intelligence, for a return to the World War II era of cooperation between the technology industry and government in order to pursue innovation that will advance our national welfare and democratic goals. A fascinating and important work."--Walter Isaacson

"A bold and ambitious work, The Technological Republic reminds us of a time when technological progress answered a national calling. It is essential reading in the age of AI, as the direction of Silicon Valley will help define the future of American leadership in the world."--Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google and chair of the Special Competitive Studies Project

"In today's complicated geopolitical, technological, and economic environment, the authors' ability to be both well spoken and outspoken in The Technological Republic can help us understand important issues about the future prosperity of the United States and its allies. The book is by turns provocative and insightful, and Alex Karp's resilience, patriotism, and depth of experience in our rapidly changing world provide instructive lessons and intellectual arguments for all of us to consider."--Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase

"This is an extremely important book and a gift to every American interested in the future path of our nation. Alex Karp is a brilliant out-of-consensus visionary who has built one of the most consequential companies in America. His insight into how he did so and how we should allocate future defense spending and what role our leading technology companies should play in helping defend our nation against hostile adversaries is both provocative and invaluable."--Stanley Druckenmiller, investor and philanthropist

"The Technological Republic should be read by everyone who cares about how technology should contribute to the protection of American values and our security. Karp is a true patriot--a loving critic of his industry and his country who wants them both to be better."--General James N. Mattis (USMC Retired)

"Alex Karp's book might be titled A Free-Thinker's Manifesto. He decries the arrogance and small-mindedness of Silicon Valley and explains his passionate commitment to defending the West and its cultural values."--David Ignatius, Washington Post columnist and bestselling author of Phantom Orbit

"Karp's rallying cry for a 'Technological Republic' sets out clearly what must happen for the democratic world to maintain its preeminence in the age of artificial intelligence. This book is a wake-up call for tech entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley and beyond."--Anders Fogh Rasmussen, founder of Alliance of Democracies Foundation and former NATO Secretary General (2009-2014)

"The Technological Republic combines fascinating insights into Palantir's mode of operation (it's influenced by the way bees swarm, comedians improvise, and Isaiah Berlin thought) with Alex Karp's uncompromisingly national-liberal political philosophy. This is a stirring manifesto for a new Manhattan Project for the AI Age."--Niall Ferguson, New York Times bestselling author of The Ascent of Money and Doom
