Krátky popis
***Winner of the Financial Times Business Book of the Year award***
'Pulse quickening. A nonfiction thriller - equal parts The China
Syndrome and Mission Impossible' New York Times An epic account of
the decades-long battle to control the world's most critical
resource-microchip technology Power in the modern world - military,
economic, geopolitical - is built on a foundation of computer
chips. America has maintained its lead as a superpower because it
has dominated advances in computer chips and all the technology
that chips have enabled.(Virtually everything runs on chips: cars,
phones, the stock market, even the electric grid.) Now that edge is
in danger of slipping, undermined by the naive assumption that
globalising the chip industry and letting players in Taiwan, Korea
and Europe take over manufacturing serves America's interests.
Currently, as Chip War reveals, China, which spends more on chips
than any other product, is pouring billions into a chip-building
Manhattan Project to catch up to the US. In Chip War economic
historian Chris Miller recounts the fascinating sequence of events
that led to the United States perfecting chip design, and how
faster chips helped defeat the Soviet Union (by rendering the
Russians' arsenal of precision-guided weapons obsolete).The battle
to control this industry will shape our future. China spends more
money importing chips than buying oil, and they are China's
greatest external vulnerability as they are fundamentally reliant
on foreign chips. But with 37 per cent of the global supply of
chips being made in Taiwan, within easy range of Chinese missiles,
the West's fear is that a solution may be close at hand.'A riveting
history. Features vivid accounts and colourful characters'
Financial Times'Fascinating...A historian by training, Miller walks
the reader through decades of semiconductor history - a subject
that comes to life thanks to [his] use of colorful anecdotes'
