Q&A:

Henry A. Kissinger

Eric Schmidt

Daniel Huttenlocher

You’re a dream team. How did you find each other and decide to work on this topic?

ERIC SCHMIDT: Writing this book together has been a pleasure—and a welcome source of community during the pandemic. When Henry and I met a decade ago or so, the first thing he said to me was: “The only problem I have with Google is that I think that you’re going to destroy the world.” I thought, “Well, that’s a challenge from Henry Kissinger!” After a few years, alongside Dan, our conversations became this book.
