How to Build an Enhanced Computer and Take Over the World - Expanded Edition [Idioma Inglés] - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

The Manhattan Project was launched in 1939 and resulted in the detonation of the World’s first atomic bomb at the Trinity site in New Mexico in 1945. Shortly thereafter, on August 6, 1945, President Harry Truman issued the order to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan and a warning from Washington for Japan to unconditionally surrender or “expect a rain of ruin from the air, the like of which has never been seen on this earth.”The Japanese failed to immediately heed this dire warning and suffered the consequences of a second atomic bombing over Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. Facing the certainty of total devastation, the Emperor of Japan, authorized the unconditional surrender of Japan which was delivered to the Allies on September 2, 1945.AI Attorney and Technologist, Charles Moster, argues that the President of the United States may face the identical ultimatum in short order if the Russians and Chinese beat us to the AI punch by first developing a quantum computer which can crack our banking and military encryption systems. Such a “Quantum Attack” would destroy our banking and financial systems within seconds in addition to paralyzing our offensive and defensive nuclear missiles. The President would sit at his desk defenseless as major U.S. cities are destroyed in the same manner Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Faced with the identical ultimatum confronted by the Emperor of Japan as to further devastation, would the President authorize the unconditional surrender of the United States to hostile forces?Charles Moster grapples with this largely unknown risk and makes the case that the United States launch a program in the model of the Manhattan Project to protect the homeland and all of us from choosing between surrender and death..
