In this groundbreaking treatise, Palantir co-founder and CEO Alexander C. Karp and Nicholas W. Zamiska offer a searing critique of our collective abandonment of ambition, arguing that in order for the U.S. and its allies to retain their global edge—and preserve the freedoms we take for granted—the software industry must renew its commitment to addressing our most urgent challenges, including the new arms race of artificial intelligence. The government, in turn, must embrace the most effective features of the engineering mindset that has propelled Silicon Valley’s success.

My expectations were too high
Revisado: 03-07-25
Good book. Agreed with many of the perspectives. However, my admittedly high expectations of finding some novel perspective or overwhelmingly persuasive argument were let down.

When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly beaten by bullies. One day a group pushed him down some concrete steps and kicked him until his face was a swollen ball of flesh. He was in the hospital for a week. But the physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones inflicted by his father, an engineer, rogue, and charismatic fantasist.

Solid Part 1 of 2
Revisado: 09-21-23
I was sad in the beginning, and when it ended, and frankly at many points throughout. Elon is hardcore. The costs are enormous and the benefits are too. I’m eagerly awaiting part two.

In his last book, Turn the Ship Around!, Marquet told the incredible story of abandoning command-and-control leadership on his submarine and empowering his crew to turn the worst performing submarine to the best performer in the fleet. Now, with Leadership is Language he gives businesspeople the tools they need to achieve such transformational leadership in their organizations.

Great Leadership Instruction
Revisado: 06-06-21
I greatly enjoyed this book. It was thoughtful and well research and tied many threads together such as lean management, agile software development, positive psychology, and many practical real world use cases, particularly the very engaging core case with the sunken Farro ship and language and behavior leading up to it.

The old delineation of technology buyer and vendor is obsolete. There is a new definition for the technology elite - and you find them across industries and geographies. The 17 case studies and 4 guest columns spread through The New Technology Elite bring out the elite attributes in detail. Every organization will increasingly be benchmarked against these elite - and soon will be competing against them.

I was expecting more of a "how to"
Revisado: 11-02-12
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
It was ok. It wasn't exactly what I wanted.
Has The New Technology Elite turned you off from other books in this genre?
Not in the least, but please find a different narrator for this genre. His pronunciation was off quite often.
How could the performance have been better?
The narrator could have done a little research on the pronunciation of common tech and business jargon.
What did you take away from The New Technology Elite that you can apply to your work?
I didn't take away as much as I would have liked. Most of the topics I am aware of from working in, and personal interest in, the tech industry. Due to the title containing the word "How", I was expecting to get more details on how companies accomplished technological feats rather than just that they did them. Most of the topics, such as the details covering on Google's retro-fitting an old Finnish paper mill into a super-efficient data center, all could have been written with a little web research. I was expecting more on-the-ground, spoke to the engineer that led the project personally, and found some gems on techniques and applications for driving technology in specific areas. My expectations may have been a little high.
Any additional comments?
On a positive note, for those that need a primer on best-in-tech of 2012, this will be a great read.
