The Internet. Stealth. GPS. Driverless cars. mRNA vaccines. They all have a common ancestor.
In 1958, after the shock of Sputnik, President Eisenhower created a small, unusual agency inside the Pentagon. It had no laboratories and a staff of only a few hundred. Its mission was simple: never let America be surprised by technology again.
It became DARPA, and it changed the world.
The DARPA Files tells the story of 100 programs that transformed war and technology. Some became household names. Others stayed in the shadows. Inside you'll discover:
The book covers the Cold War through the age of artificial intelligence and quantum computing. It explains how a "high risk, high reward" culture produced world-changing breakthroughs along with spectacular failures. It also examines the hard ethical questions these programs raise, from autonomous weapons to gene editing.
Each chapter opens with a quick-reference Program Snapshot, and the book closes with a timeline, a glossary and a guide to further reading. It is a lively, accessible history for anyone curious about military history, technology, national security, or where tomorrow's breakthroughs come from.
