Soldiers faced off in the frozen heights of Ladakh in May 2020-the first gunfire between India and China in nearly half a century. Halfway across the world, the United States launched its Clean Network initiative to wall off Chinese influence from 5G infrastructure. India banned TikTok and dozens of other Chinese apps overnight. What connected these seemingly scattered events? They were all opening moves in a new kind of global conflict, one where lines of code matter more than lines on a map, where data flows replace oil pipelines as strategic assets, and where a single tech company can wield more influence than most nations. Welcome to the Great Tech Game-a contest that will determine not just which countries prosper, but what kind of world we'll inhabit. History doesn't repeat, but it certainly rhymes. Every era of human civilization has been defined by a dominant force that reshapes everything-who holds power, who creates wealth, who writes the rules. The Agricultural Revolution gave us the first economic surpluses, which created the first kings and the first armies. Trade networks followed, turning obscure ports like ancient Dilmun into glittering centers of wealth. The Trojan War wasn't really about Helen's face-it was about Troy's chokehold on the Hellespont, the gateway between two seas and two economies. Fast-forward through centuries of shifting dominance: Roman roads, Islamic trade routes, Mongol highways that connected the Mediterranean to China. Each transition brought new winners. Then came the colonial era, when Western Europe-long stuck on civilization's periphery-leveraged new technologies and financial innovations to dominate the globe. The British East India Company commanded twice as many soldiers as Britain's own army. When industrialization arrived, it created the "Great Divergence"-an economic chasm between the West and everyone else that seemed unbridgeable. America's rise followed the same playbook. The nation adopted transformative technologies with breathtaking speed. In just sixty years, electrification went from novelty to near-universality in American cities. This technological embrace, combined with innovative institutions and rule of law, catapulted America to twentieth-century dominance. The lesson? Each new global game builds on mastery of the previous one. Winners adapt fastest and build institutions fitted to their era's dominant forces. Today, we're witnessing another such transition-from industrial capitalism to something fundamentally different.
