I’ve spoken and written about this book before, but it’s exceptionally timely for many reasons (especially with today’s note that 40% of DoD semis are coming from China). I personally believe that much of our competency crisis, especially in terms of defense and foreign policy, is due to specialists who spend careers in niche areas and then are given positions that require a very macro perspective - that they don’t have.
Our overreliance on tech (which often has critical components made by frenemies or adversaries) is extremely dangerous, and this book outlines precisely why.
However, in the most White Pills of ways, American ingenuity and “boots on the ground” Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) find creative solutions and win the day:

Macro takeaways/lessons for the week:
Housing market issues, unwindable derivatives, insiders selling stock like crazy at the company that is pretty much driving the US stock market, NeoCons killing civilians of a rival nuclear power. How’s your gold, silver, beans, butter, and bullets portfolio looking?
