About The Wires of War

Jacob Helberg argues that control of digital infrastructure and information is central to competition for global power. Writing from a technology-industry perspective, he connects platforms, networks, and US-China rivalry with the political stakes of technological dependence.

Why I include it

I include this as a distinct industry perspective to compare with independent reporting on surveillance, technology, and state power.
