Palantir’s Idea of Peace
In a review for The Nation, Michael Eby pans Alex Karp's book The Technological Republic as warmed-over pabulum that turns self-interest into national destiny, arguing that Karp's self-styled centrist liberalism makes hawkish foreign policy and Palantir's dragnet software — sold to agencies from the CIA to ICE and police departments — look like the thoughtful middle ground. Eby contrasts Karp's quoted boasts about scaring enemies and killing them with the book's call for tech elites to abandon consumer products for military technology.
