Description
The Chip War: A Pulse-Pounding Account of the Decades-Long Battle for Control of the World's Most Critical Technology The world's most critical resource is no longer oil, but microchips. These tiny components are the backbone of modern life, powering everything from missiles to smartphones. The United States once dominated the chip industry, but China is now catching up, pouring billions into a chip-building initiative to challenge America's lead. At stake is not just economic prosperity, but also military superiority. The semiconductor industry has played a critical role in modern life, and the US has long harnessed its power to maintain its global dominance. But China's ambitions are changing the game, and the consequences could be far-reaching. In "The Chip War", economic historian Chris Miller explains how the semiconductor industry has evolved, and what it means for the future of global power.
