I had the distinct pleasure of sitting down with PW Singer and August Cole to talk about their new book, Ghost Fleet: A Novel of the Next World War. Yes, these two wonks wrote some fiction and it’s an impressive piece of work. In Ghost Fleet, they bring us into the future – not too far away – and show us how this war could very well be fought, examining the social, political, and technological issues through the eyes of a massive cast of characters. The way they portray military technology and its myriad effects was, in particular, fresh and interesting.

I hate to be “that guy” that has something negative to say. I enjoy these podcasts but not so much a promo for a full hour.
I was hoping you guys were going to explore what actually happens in this hypothetical scenario. But it was mostly about the writing process. I feel click-baited.
