Alex Karp: BUILDING THE INVISIBLE EMPIRE: The Untold Story of Palantir, Power, and the Data War Shap

He doesn't tweet. He doesn't court headlines. But he runs one of the most powerful and secretive tech companies in the world.

This is the untold story of Alex Karp, the enigmatic philosopher-turned-billionaire CEO of Palantir Technologies, a company that has quietly transformed how governments, intelligence agencies, and global corporations gather, analyze, and act on data.

While Silicon Valley raced to build consumer apps and social media empires, Karp led Palantir in a different direction, into the shadows of counterterrorism, military intelligence, and predictive policing. Backed by the CIA and trusted by governments around the world, Palantir became an indispensable tool of surveillance and strategy, sparking fierce debates about privacy, ethics, and the power of algorithms.

But behind Palantir's rise is a man who never quite fit the mold: a long-haired, socially awkward, German-speaking Stanford Law graduate who quotes Nietzsche and swims in freezing water to think. How did this outsider build an empire of influence that extends from the battlefield to boardrooms and beyond?

Alex Karp: Building the Invisible Empire dives deep into the man, the mission, and the machine shaping the future of war, governance, and information itself.

If you want to understand the new front lines of power in the 21st century, this is where the story begins.
