Across the globe, nation states and societies, as well as corporations, technology developers, and even individuals, find themselves on the front lines of a global technology race. As we approach the third decade of this century, the outlines of the contest have become clear. Spending on research and development, new methods such as innovation centers, and the incorporation of powerful technologies into governments and society are occurring at a rapid pace. Technology winners and losers are emerging.

How did this global technology struggle emerge? How and where will it be waged? What can the United States do to prepare for the future? Professor Daniel Gerstein’s Tech Wars: Transforming U.S. Technology Development addresses these questions, examining the conditions that have led us to this point and evaluating new strategies, organizational changes, and resource allocations that will help the U.S. respond to the challenges that are on the horizon.

In ten chapters, Tech Wars focuses on how technology affects society and individuals, recognizing that a discussion of technology must also include such topics as economics, trade, military activities, and security. Gerstein further explores how and why our science and technology, research and development, and innovation capabilities can be adapted to address new challenges. Tech Wars was published in 2022 by ABC-CLIO.
