WHEN SILICON VALLEY GOES TO WAR, WHO REALLY HOLDS THE POWER?

A gripping expose of how Silicon Valley became America's new war machine.

Once imagined as the cradle of utopian innovation, Silicon Valley is now at the heart of the Pentagon's arsenal. In Valley of Death, acclaimed journalist Sharon Weinberger uncovers the hidden history of the tech industry's ties to the CIA and the military - from the secret contracts that saved Steve Jobs's NeXT computers to Elon Musk's rockets launching U.S. spy satellites, Jeff Bezos's cloud empire hosting intelligence data and Peter Thiel's Palantir powering the war on terror.

With exclusive reporting, declassified files and access to the people who built this uneasy alliance, Weinberger reveals how tech billionaires have become some of the most powerful defence contractors in history - unaccountable to voters yet able to shape U.S. wars, foreign policy, and even democracy itself.

Valley of Death is the explosive, untold story of the Silicon War Complex: how a handful of mercurial visionaries and venture capitalists gained the power to decide not just the future of technology, but the future of war.
