Despite some interesting citations, the book brings another yet anthropocentric view to the subject. Some points are dangerously misleading.

Intelligence spawns upon intelligence...
Strategic analysis about the thorough review of artificial intelligence, and how an intelligence agency can gain the decisive strategic advantage in the
digital age. Neuromorphic artificial intelligence will constitute the human cross over to advanced intelligence. Therefore, the existence of intelligence precedes the essence of what is to be countered, by which the competition for an artificial intelligence such as a singleton to advanced AI has reached a crescendo into the intelligence explosion in the technetronic age. However, to gain the decisive strategic advantage in a politically awakened digital system is complex by its design and nature that is otherwise knowledge of our self in the age of artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence will shape the future of National Security. The U.S. Intelligence Community should focus on artificial intelligence in counter intelligence designs and methodologies to the anthropomorphic transition to artificial intelligence. It should also be noted that this is the last age of human intelligence prior to neuromorphic AI and neo-digital-sapiens.
