I’m about 1/3 of the way through this, and I have to say that Karp makes an excellent and compelling argument that has me questioning my own stance and judgment of these issues more than I have in the past decade.

Most substantially, I find he has made a compelling argument for the need for Americans to stand for something, and be willing to engage with the messy and convoluted process of trying to rediscover what being American would really mean. If we are to take the idea of a Technological Republic seriously and the need for classic liberal American values to be imbued within that, than we need to take this call very seriously and how we can contribute to it in the most meaningful way possible.
