The Pentagon’s Brain: An Uncensored History of DARPA, America’s Top Secret Military Research Agency
GUEST: Annie Jacobson, author of The Pentagon’s Brain: An Uncensored History of DARPA, America’s Top Secret Military Research Agency.
A recent headline in late September on the Popular Science Magazine’s website read, “DARPA Gives MIT Lab $32 million to Program Living Cells.” DARPA stands for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, a secretive government agency that spearheads bizarre sounding scientific research. That headline was fairly typical of the type of project the agency oversees.
On its website it says, “DARPA pursues opportunities for transformational change rather than incremental advances.” But the question is, what sort of transformation and why?
While DARPA has been the subject of speculation by conspiracy theorists since its founding in 1958, no one has actually written a definitive history of the agency. Until now.
