Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology by Chris MillerCall Number: 338.4762 Mil
An epic account of the decades-long battle to control what has emerged as the world's most critical resource, microchip technology, with the United States and China increasingly in conflict. You may be surprised to learn that microchips are the new scarce resource on which the modern world depends. Today, military, economic, and geopolitical power are built on a foundation of computer chips. Until recently, America designed and built the fastest chips and maintained its lead as the #1 superpower. Now, America's edge is slipping, undermined by competitors in Taiwan, Korea, Europe, and, above all, China.
