Folks, I’m looking for some good books / papers on the history of defence industry and the tech industry, particularly since OSS became mainstream, as I’m trying to develop informed opinions about how they relate to each other.
My default is position is that I don’t want to go anywhere near defence industry work myself, but at the same time, I’m also incredibly reliant on all kinds of OSS tech that only exist because of defence spending.
Who is writing well about this right now?
