Sharing news on my second book being released on November 20!
Beyond the horizon by chuck brooks.
“Beyond the Horizon” is a strategic security-focused book by Chuck Brooks that examines how the convergence of multiple emerging technologies is reshaping global risk, governance, and resilience.
Available on Amazon and other sites at: Beyond the Horizon: Emerging Technologies, Security Frontiers, and Gray Swans : Brooks, Chuck: Amazon.com.au: Books.
Overview: Published in 2026 by River Publishers, Beyond the Horizon: Emerging Technologies, Security Frontiers, and Gray Swans explores the intersection of AI, quantum computing, biotechnology, space systems, hyperconnected networks, and cyber‑physical infrastructure.
Brooks argues that the coming decade will not be defined by a single breakthrough, but by the combined impact of these technologies, which promise major advances while creating complex, systemic security challenges.
The coming decade will not be defined by a single technological breakthrough, but by the convergence of many. Artificial intelligence, quantum computing, biotechnology, space systems, hyperconnected networks, and cyber-physical infrastructure are reshaping society at unprecedented speed. Together, these technologies promise extraordinary advances while creating complex security challenges that outpace existing governance, risk management, and leadership strategies. Beyond the Horizon explores this technological convergence through the lens of strategic security. Rather than examining emerging technologies in isolation, it reveals how their intersection creates new categories of systemic risk capable of affecting governments, critical infrastructure, businesses, and society as a whole. Central to the discussion is the concept of gray swan events―high-impact, plausible disruptions that fall between predictable risks and unforeseen black swan events. These include AI-enabled cyberattacks, quantum-enabled cryptographic disruption, cascading failures across interconnected infrastructure, and the erosion of trust in digital systems.
