In "Ghost Fleet" by P.W. Singer, a gripping and meticulously researched techno-thriller, the United States finds itself immersed in a near-future global conflict. The intricate storyline seamlessly weaves together real-world geopolitical tensions, advanced technology, and the threat of cyber warfare.

After a decade of relative peace, the world is suddenly plunged into chaos. China launches a stealthy attack on the United States, crippling its military capabilities. With powerful AI-enabled weapons, drones, and naval vessels known as "ghost fleet," China aims to dominate the Pacific region.
