Palmer Luckey of Anduril is teaming with Ben Lamm of Colossal Biosciences to launch Warhound, a startup dedicated to genetically engineering and cloning dogs for service in war, police work and first responder work.

Speaking to Wired, Lamm explained that the project was twofold. One part of the project would oversee the genetic engineering and cloning of the ideal dogs for war, and the other would develop tech for them to use on battlefields.

Here's a book about it. Not spoilers: there are a few complications.

Dogs of War by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

Oh shit, A. Tchaikovsky, of "Children of Time" fame (incredibly good book). I guess I'll have to read Dogs of War now.

I loved the world building of the trilogy at the end of the last book I was sad that there were only 3 books.
