I like this book and I agree with the authors' opinions. However, I find that the book ends before it could have begun to offer either more history on why Palantir has been successful or more opinionated prescription on how to rescue Western Civilization from its pointless Progressive vacuity. Having just finished Balaji Srinivasan's, "The Network State", I think he does a better job of reporting on the reasons for the failures of and the threats from the Woke State (20th Century's replacement for Christendom) and from the Authoritarian State (China). His presentation of the Network State, the liberating power of definitive Truth via an irrefutable blockchain of History, and the rallying power of voluntary societies with "one commandment" reasons for existence all offer more explanation and more tangible suggestions for how to bring us back to addressing grand challenges, having principles - controversial or not, and to the engineering of beneficial solutions versus the coding entertainment apps. I think the "Network State" offers more promise than merely the "Technological Republic" - especially if that Technological Republic comes to merely be the strong arm of the Woke State.

Palantir is da wae
