The Pentagon’s Brain: An Uncensored History of DARPA, America’s Top-Secret Military Research Agency

by Annie Jacobsen

The Pentagon’s Brain is a chilling exposé on DARPA—the secretive U.S. agency behind cutting-edge military research, from nuclear war simulations to AI warfare and mind-control experiments. Annie Jacobsen takes readers inside this real-life “mad science” division, where futuristic weapons and surveillance technologies are developed behind closed doors. With declassified documents and firsthand interviews, this book reveals how war, power, and technology are converging in ways most people can’t even imagine. Because history doesn’t repeat, but it sure loves a remix.
