Inhaltsangabe
A U.S. operation moves to secure the resources the next century will be priced against — the rare earths under Greenland's ice, the strategic ground of Venezuela. The intelligence is clean. The authorizations clear. The soldiers go in on schedule.
Then two scientists, working separately, publish to the open internet — and the scarcity the war was fought over quietly ceases to exist.
Nothing stops. A president manages the optics. An analyst converts the collapse into something still governable. A soldier keeps removing the people a packet calls nodes, long after the reason is gone. Each is competent. Each is correct. None can find the lever that would make any of it matter.
A machine that keeps running perfectly after its purpose has disappeared

Print-on-DemandAnbieter: AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Deutschland
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The orders are lawful. The briefings are accurate. The convoy arrives on time.Caleb is the man who carries out the orders: a quiet operator who keeps finding that the removals work and nothing changes. Mercer builds the process that makes every step defensible. Kline signs what the machine puts in front of her. Outside Reykjavík, Sólveig builds an energy system out of parts nobody can embargo. In a lab in Mexico, Andrés chases a number that will not hold, and finds it comes down to sand.A Perfectly Useless War is a slow, deadpan procedural about institutions that do their jobs perfectly. It is about the lag between a decision and its effect, and about who is left holding the blame when every step was correct.Expect dry humor, dense paperwork and very little shooting. Everything works as designed, and that is the problem.For readers of Slow Horses, 2034 and Red Storm Rising. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781066896516
