Great Tech Game

After agriculture trade industrialization colonization and capitalism technology is arguably the next big shaper of geopolitics in the world. It is increasingly a major determinant of the destiny of nations today and is creating a new set of winners and losers on the global stage.

In The Great Tech Game the author provides a coherent framework outlining the key drivers that will determine the ability of a nation to succeed in this technology-dominant era. He lays out a roadmap for how any country must develop its own strategic plan for success. Leaders must inculcate a new set of capabilities to understand and take advantage of these trends and create enabling environments for their nations to not be left behind. A particularly challenging aspect will be the ability of countries to define and manage the roles of state and non-state actors in a global race for technological leadership and success.

The book goes on to evaluate whether digital colonialism is an inevitable reality or whether new frameworks will emerge to govern relationships between technology-rich and technology-poor nations.
