Recenzii

'Engrossing . . . A chilling portrait of genius in the yoke of authoritarianism' 
‘Reveals what makes [Karp] tick . . . A new biography, The Philosopher in the Valley, reveals [Karp] to be a complex, thoughtful, often contradictory personality with a background that explains many of his insecurities’ 
‘The story follows Alex Karp, philosopher-turned-CEO, as he navigates the ethical complexities of technical surveillance and its implications for privacy . . . Provide[s] a bracing view of the modern-day CIA and the technical revolution that is forcing intelligence agencies to adapt their tradecraft and business models’
‘As Big Tech’s reach grows, Michael Steinberger’s portrait of Palantir’s enigmatic boss offers a timely study of surveillance . . . an excellent look at what Palantir does, as well as a fascinating insight into the mind of its eccentric chief executive . . . an engrossing portrait of Karp, a 58-year-old billionaire . . . The Philosopher in the Valley will give readers an excellent insight into how Karp and his ilk operate at a time when their reach seems to be becoming inescapable’ 
'Engrossing . . . A chilling portrait of genius in the yoke of authoritarianism' 

Descriere

In the age of big data, no company embodies its promise and its perils more than Palantir. This software firm sells some of the most powerful and dangerous technology in the world, ingesting huge quantities of data and then using it to see and predict patterns of human behaviour. Governments and major corporations around the world use its products to track, trace, and surveil. And it is run by a man like no other in Silicon Valley.

Alex Karp — the wild-haired, tai chi-practising philosopher who became Palantir's CEO — has built his company from a tiny start-up co-founded by Peter Thiel into a publicly traded giant worth tens of billions. He has positioned himself as a vocal defender of Western democracy even as critics accuse his company of enabling mass surveillance and eroding civil liberties.

Michael Steinberger's The Philosopher in the Valley is the definitive account of Palantir and Karp — a riveting story of technology, power, and the man who believes he is saving the free world.
