In a totally regular Government Press office picture of PM Netanyahu meeting with an aide, we can learn something very interesting.
On the PM's desk is a copy of the book "How the Pentagon and Silicon Valley Are Transforming the Future of War" by the co-authors Raj M. Shah and Christopher Kirchhoff.
Shortlisted for the 2024 Financial Times Business Book of the Year, the reviews say:
"A riveting inside look at an elite unit within the Pentagon—the Defense Innovation Unit, also known as Unit X—whose mission is to bring Silicon Valley’s cutting-edge technology to America’s military: from the two men who launched the unit.
A vast and largely unseen transformation of how war is fought as profound as the invention of gunpowder or advent of the nuclear age is occurring. Flying cars that can land like helicopters, artificial intelligence-powered drones that can fly into buildings and map their interiors, microsatellites that can see through clouds and monitor rogue missile sites—all these and more are becoming part of America’s DIU-fast-tracked arsenal."
NEWSRAEL: One does not need to be an expert to understand why this book is an important read to someone who deals with Israeli security 24 hours a day.
