<b>A CHILLING ASSESSMENT OF THE DISINTEGRATING WORLD ORDER: the rise of autocratic regimes, erosion of traditional diplomacy, and growing influence of tech billionaires and unregulated AI </b>"The one book you absolutely need to read in order to understand current politics" -- Anne Applebaum, author of the <i>New York Times </i>bestseller <i>Autocracy, Inc.</i> Blending the internationally bestselling author's personal insight with startling historical comparisons to the days of Machiavelli and the Spanish conquest of Mexico, Giuliano Da Empoli's <i>The Hour of the Predator</i> is a timely and incisive examination of the shifting power dynamics in global politics, where traditional government institutions find themselves increasingly outmatched by technology tycoons and autocratic strongmen: geopolitical predators who shape the world through brute force, ceaseless deception, and chaotic disruption. Drawing on his experience as a political advisor to a former Italian Prime Minister, Da Empoli takes the reader on an eye-opening journey around the international political circuit--from New York to Riyadh, and from the United Nations to Mohammed bin Salman's Ritz-Carlton-- and through the looking glass to a world of ruthless power struggles, where the tech lords already seem to inhabit another world and AI is already out of control. <i>The Hour of the Predator</i> is the latest book from the internationally bestselling author of <i>The Wizard of the Kremlin</i>, which has been translated into thirty-five languages and is now being adapted for a major movie by Olivier Assayas starring Jude Law as Vladimir Putin.
