Description

The Everything Blueprint: The Story Behind the Microchip That Conquered the World The microchip is a tiny device that lies at the heart of the world's technological advance, powering everything from household devices to cutting-edge weaponry. At the centre of billions of these chips is a blueprint created and nurtured by a single company: Arm. Founded in Cambridge in 1990, Arm's designs have been used an astonishing 250 billion times and counting. This book tells the story of Arm, from humble beginnings to its pivotal role in the mobile phone revolution and its enduring relationship with tech titans like Apple. With exclusive interviews and exhaustive research, it explores the company's journey and its multi-billion-pound sale to Japan's Masayoshi Son. The Everything Blueprint reveals the titanic power struggle for control of the microchip, through the eyes of a unique British enterprise that has found itself at the heart of the battle.
