Biological War: A Scenario
Is America prepared for biological war? That’s the question Annie Jacobsen set out to answer in her latest book, Biological War: A Scenario. On this episode of Settle In, Geoff Bennett speaks with Jacobsen about how weaponized pathogens could lead to a civilization-ending event. Based on interviews with former high-ranking officials in the military and intelligence communities, and even leaders of AI companies, Jacobsen lays out a startling view of America’s preparedness for biological war.
