The book also deals with the topic of armaments, with a special emphasis on the arms race between the United States and the USSR, and how new technologies affected global security and the balance of power. ​

Through an analysis of the technological achievements of the time, Baker provides insight into the possible forms of future wars, emphasizing how laser technology and space weapons could change the way conflicts are fought.
