World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth will present David Ignatius to discuss not only his latest novel, The Quantum Spy, but also current foreign affairs and how domestic policies and attitudes affect the American image abroad and at home.

His new book, The Quantum Spy, is described as focusing on “the race to build the first quantum computer.” According to the novel’s summary, “A hyper-fast quantum computer is the digital equivalent of a nuclear bomb: whoever possesses one will be able to shred any encryption in existence, effectively owning the digital world. The question is: Who will build it first, the United States or China?”
