Eric Schmidt left a job and the national security state to become CEO of Google he took a job at the defense department as well. He's fundamentally very closely revolving door guy yeah he's very closely linked with Washington I have read another book by Eric Schmidt called the new digital age it came out in 2013. In it there's this incredible quote that I use very often when he's talking about um what information technology really is Schmidt says "What Lockheed Martin was to the 20th century technology and cyber security companies like Google will be to the 21st end"
