作者虽说不否认市场的作用，但认为一些重要的市场不能只是交给市场去做，比如数据、人工智能和网络系统。作者认为这些 如同电力与铁路一样具有公共属性，需要国家的战略规划和国家力量去推进。 简而言之，作者主张美国科技企业更好地为其国家战略服务，强调"使命导向型创新"，而非只是关注短期回报和用户增长，"娱 乐至死"。 该书作者亚历山大.C.卡普(Alexander C.Karp)是美国一位数据分析公司的CEO，而该公司长期为美国政府、军方和情报机构提供 数据整合与分析系统，活跃于反恐和国家安全领域。卡普本人拥有哲学背景，思想上深受欧洲政治哲学传统影响，也非传统意 义的工程师企业家。另一位合著者尼古拉斯.W.扎米斯卡(Nicholas W.Zamiska)，是科技与政治经济领域的资深记者。作者们的经 历也部分解释了这本书的主要观点来源。 该书当然也招致了争议和批评。美国国内的一些批评者就认为，作者作为与美国政府关系密切的企业家，其观点可能带有利益 立场。 本书透露出的主要是一种焦虑，将此议题推至人们关注的镁光灯下，但在自由主义经济盛行多年的美国，书中一些主张的可实 践性存疑。 特约评论员夏宁 《科技共和国：硬实力、软信仰 ...
