The Idea

The European alternatives are here. We're bringing them to light.

A misconception persists in political debate and in many IT departments: that there is no European alternative to technology from overseas. This assumption does not hold up to scrutiny. The book series “Digital Lines of Defense” provides evidence to the contrary. Each topic is covered in its own volume.

Why a book and not a website? A book has substance. It doesn’t end up in the trash. It stays on the shelf and in the library for years, within reach, and is picked up time and again. A website gets lost in the flow of the day. That’s why I made a conscious decision to go with the printed word.
