How Palantir Is Shaping the Future of Warfare

There is a sense of uneasiness when the screen lights up. Excitement, yes, because you're being shown a new way to fight a war, having gained access to a perspective until now closed to human perception. But also modesty because the action is down below, a thousand miles below, and all the courage and suffering of the battle are so distant as to almost lose their human meaning. In a recent visit to Palantir's offices in London, I was able to witness first-hand how the firm's superior data technology really works. I have not been able to stop thinking about the experience ever since.
