A chilling account of how the Trump administration is systematically dismantling our government agencies, putting our national security and democracy at risk.

In the spring of 2017, Michael Lewis visited the Department of Energy, where he met with a group of scientists who were working on climate change. The scientists were demoralized. They had been told by the Trump administration to stop working on climate change research, and they were worried about what this would mean for the future of the planet.

Lewis also visited the Department of Transportation, where he met with a group of engineers who were working on self-driving cars. The engineers were excited about the potential of self-driving cars to revolutionize transportation, but they were also worried about the safety risks. They were concerned that the Trump administration was not ng enough to ensure that self-driving cars were safe.

Lewis's book, The Fifth Risk, is a chilling account of how the Trump administration is systematically dismantling our government agencies, putting our national security and democracy at risk. Lewis interviews dozens of government officials, scientists, and engineers, and he paints a picture of an administration that is hostile to science and expertise.

The Fifth Risk is a must-read for anyone who is concerned about the future of our democracy. Lewis's book is a powerful reminder that our government agencies are essential to our national security and well-being, and that we must protect them from those who would seek to destroy them.

Excerpt

In the spring of 2017, Michael Lewis visited the Department of Energy, where he met with a group of scientists who were working on climate change. The scientists were demoralized. They had been told by the Trump administration to stop working on climate change research, and they were worried about what this would mean for the future of the planet.

"We're all just sitting here waiting for the ax to fall," one scientist told Lewis. "We don't know what's going to happen to us or to our work."
