Anirudh Suri says: "Growing up, our daily lives were replete with the signs of the influence of history, trade and geopolitics, yet we rarely paid much attention to them. Today, the signs of the influence of technology are all around us, yet most of us do not grasp the scale and gravity of its impact. A broad macro view of how technology is transforming our world is absent. With inputs from many strategic thinkers from around the world, I have attempted to piece together the larger story of how technology is shaping our destinies. I hope this book will spark the right set of conversations about the 'Great Tech Game' that is underway, and how we can adapt to it and succeed."
Swati Chopra, Executive Editor, HarperCollins says: "The Great Tech Game is a unique book for today's world because it not only examines how technology is increasingly shaping our reality, it also describes in detail its geopolitical implications and the resultant impact on economies globally. Anirudh Suri provides a sharply delineated insight into what the Great Games of the immediate future are going to be, and what India should do to not only remain in the game but also play it to its own advantage."
About the book:
After agriculture, trade, industrialization, colonization and capitalism, technology is, arguably the next big shaper of geopolitics in the world. Technology 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. It is shaping geopolitics, and renewing international competition for technological leadership between social, economic and political systems.
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 develop 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. Will we live in a world marked by greater digital cooperation with globally accepted standards, or a digital Berlin Wall and increasing nationalization? Clearly, the institutional frameworks of global governance will need to be envisioned afresh as new equations emerge on the global stage of nations.
