What happens when AI, climate disruption, geopolitical rivalry, and information warfare collide?
In this episode of the State Secrets Podcast, @SuzanneKelly_ sits down with authors retired Admiral James Stavridis @stavridisj and @elliotackerman to discuss 2084, the final installment of their acclaimed trilogy.
From climate-driven migration to AI-powered conflict, cognitive warfare, and Arctic power competition, Stavridis and Ackerman explore the future of global security—and why fiction can serve as a vital warning.
This is essential listening for anyone who cares about the security and stability of our world.

When a former Deputy Assistant Director of CIA for Counterterrorism calls your novel 'fast-paced' and 'engrossing,' it's a good day. Grateful to Joe Zacks and @thecipherbrief for this thoughtful review — 2084 publishes May 12th. @elliotackerman https://t.co/NDBqhGModO

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.
