“This book will leave the reader more confident about the future. The young authors hail from disparate backgrounds, with competing national interests, including, the US, Russia, Ukraine, Europe. Yet, they are able find the common ground in covering the risks of today’s technological revolutions on our collective future and mutual security. It is both enlightening and inspirational!”-- Lord Desmond Browne of Ladyton, former UK Defence Secretary “The Younger Generation Leaders Network in its second book has once again managed to collect smart thinking by bright young scholars who have their finger on the pulse of Euro-Atlantic security. This volume is a must-read for everyone who wants to get a sense of the most crucial trends in emerging and disruptive technologies – challenges and opportunities alike – brilliantly explained and put into context by YGLN members from across Europe and North America.”--Ambassador (ret.) Wolfgang Ischinger, President of the Foundation Council of the Munich Security Conference Foundation “Although emerging and disruptive technologies offer much to society, as we plunge into great power confrontation, with the Euro-Atlantic region as the primary arena, they play unprecedented, not yet well-understood roles in fuelling, shaping and complicating the struggle. So this set of analyses by members of the Younger Generation Leaders Network from right across the region could not be more timely or important. The European Leadership Network is very proud to have the YGLN as part of its family.”--Sir Adam Thomson KCMG, Director of the European Leadership Network; former UK Permanent Representative to NATO “It is more than appropriate for emerging  leaders to  study emerging  technologies and their both, problem-solving and problem-creating potential, even more so when it is being done by young people from all the corners of the EuroAtlantic region. It is  more than encouraging when the  final product of such a complex  and demanding  effort is a book, presenting clear-cut analysis and recommendations, from which senior (and retired)  leaders can learn a lot.”--Ambassador (ret.) Adam Kobieracki, Former Director of the OSCE Conflict Prevention Centre; former NATO Assistant Secretary General for Operations“In the midst of war, this book demonstrates the possibility of dialogue: The dialogue between scholars from Europe, Ukraine, Russia and the United States, between young scholars with an eye to our common future; a meeting place between different disciplines that are necessary to unpack the complexities of emerging technologies, one of the greatest challenges of our age.” --Nathalie Tocci, Director of the Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI)
