Christian Brose argues that the United States must change how it develops and uses military capabilities as new technologies reshape competition.
The book considers artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and the institutional obstacles that can slow adaptation. Its central concern is the relationship between technological possibility and operational effectiveness.
This selection carries the technology discussion into military strategy and asks how organizations prepare for a changing form of conflict.
Why I include it
Brose moves from criticism to a call for urgency and innovation. That is what I value here: a connection between emerging digital technologies and the practical demands of national defense, including the institutions that must adapt.
