Description
Gordon Moore's life has had an almost superhuman impact on technology. As a young chemist turned electronics entrepreneur, he recognised that silicon transistors could make electronics cheap and powerful. This insight, known as "Moore's Law", has driven the development of microchips and transformed industries. At Fairchild Semiconductor and later at Intel Corporation, Moore led a revolution in technology, enabling the creation of smaller, more powerful computers. The result is a world where computers are ubiquitous, from smartphones to spacecraft. This book tells the human story behind this remarkable career, with unparalleled access to Moore, his family, and his contemporaries. Through the eyes of Arnold Thackray, David C. Brock, and Rachel Jones, we see the life and achievements of Gordon Moore, a quiet Californian who changed the course of history.
