L’Empire de l’Ombre (The Shadow Empire)
Guerre et Terre au temps de l’IA (War and Earth in AI times)
Le Grand Continent is a recent online magazine focusing on Geopolitical questions, being edited by the « Groupe d’Etudes Géopolitiques », an independent research center based at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris and recognized as being of general interest.
They edit and print an annual review on specific topics, based on articles, written by specialists, of which this one came out in 2025.
Its main focus is on the development of the alliance between Big Tech and the US government under Trump with outspoken plans, that send shivers in your back. In this review, introduced by Giuliano da Empoli (author of « Le Mage du Kremlin », « Les Ingénieurs du Chaos », and « The Hour of the Predators »), several authors, economists, and key figures of today’s technological developments give their views on general or more specific factors of this development. Among others, one of Silicon Valley’s main investors, Perter Thiel (on his libertarian views), Sam Altman (founder of Open AI) on the future of AI, or Marc Andreessen, another heavy weight Silicon Valley investor on the techno-optimist movement…
In the magazine, you will also read excerpts from Mario Draghi’s big research, published last year on Europe’s needs to reform and other contributions on the threats for Europe of the American « Techno-Cesars ». I strongly recommend to read it.
