Stack Wars: The Race to Build Competing Technological Civilisations and What Happens When They Collide
Stack Wars explores how the struggle for geopolitical supremacy is increasingly determined not simply by military strength or economic resources, but by the ability of nations to develop, control and integrate the technological systems upon which modern power depends.
The Second Volume in Edoardo Giglio’s Innovation and Geopolitical Power Quadrilogy. Publication date March 2027
Stack Wars explores how the struggle for geopolitical supremacy is increasingly determined not simply by military strength or economic resources, but by the ability of nations to develop, control and integrate the technological systems upon which modern power depends.
From semiconductors and artificial intelligence to critical infrastructure, advanced computing and defence technologies, the book examines how competing technological ecosystems are reshaping international security, strategic autonomy and the global balance of power.
Building upon Tech Tides (Bloomsbury, 2025), Stack Wars forms the second instalment of Edoardo Giglio’s four-book exploration of the relationship between technological innovation, strategic competition and geopolitical power. The series investigates how innovations emerge, mature and become instruments of national influence, transforming not only warfare and international relations but the foundations of civilisation itself.
The forthcoming third volume, Sacred Horizons, continues this exploration of technology, power and humanity’s future.
