Abstract
Over the last year, Spectrum's editors have noticed an emerging through line connecting several major stories: the centrality of technology to geopolitics. Last month, our cover story, done in partnership with Foreign Policy magazine, was on the future of submarine warfare. And last October, we focused on how sea drones could bolster Taiwan's “silicon shield” strategy, which rests on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.'s domination of high-end chip manufacturing.
