Publisher's Note
The first-ever inside look at DARPA--the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency--the maverick and controversial group whose futuristic work has had amazing civilian and military applications, from the Internet to GPS to driverless cars. Michael Belfiore was given unprecedented access to write this first-ever popular account of DARPA. Visiting research sites across the country, he watched scientists in action and talked to the creative, fearlessly ambitious visionaries working for and with DARPA. Much of DARPA's work is classified, and this book is full of material that has barely been reported in the general media. In fact, DARPA estimates that only 2 percent of Americans know much of anything about the agency. This fascinating read demonstrates that DARPA isn't so much frightening as it is inspiring--it is our future.

Industry Reviews
"In addition to providing insights into the nature of the agency itself, Belfiore focuses on several historical and ongoing DARPA development initiatives besides the Internet and GPS, including electroprostheses for Iraq veterans, remote robotic surgery, driverless trucks and hypersonic flight. Such efforts, which are driven by the needs of the military, ultimately can have civilian benefits."
(01/03/2010)

"[Belfiore's] tone is reverential and at times breathless, but he capture the agency's essential virtues: boldness, creativity, agility, practicality and speed."
(12/27/2009)
