Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology by Chris Miller is one of the most important and acclaimed books of the modern technological era, offering a gripping account of the global struggle to control the semiconductor industry. Winner of the Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award and a New York Times bestseller, this compelling work explains how computer chips became the foundation of modern civilisation and why their production now sits at the centre of economic, political and military competition.
From the invention of the first semiconductor devices to the rise of Silicon Valley, Taiwan's dominance in chip manufacturing, and the technological rivalry between the United States and China, Chip War expertly traces the history of the industry that powers everything from smartphones and computers to artificial intelligence, advanced weapon systems and modern communications networks.
Written with the pace of a thriller yet grounded in meticulous research, Chip War makes complex technological and geopolitical issues accessible to general readers while providing valuable insights for business leaders, investors, engineers, economists and policymakers. The book reveals how a handful of companies and countries came to control the world's most advanced chip production and why shortages or disruptions can have global consequences.
An essential addition to any collection of technology, economics, business strategy or contemporary history titles, Chip War is widely regarded as one of the definitive books on the semiconductor revolution and its impact on the modern world.
