Chris Miller's new book, Chip War, which I highly recommend, is just the best book on why semiconductors really matter.

The best things said about it
So one book I would recommend is Chip War if you want to understand the semiconductor export controls and why that is happening then shipwar will explain it you should really read it you'll understand semiconductors.
I mean if people read Chip War, which is I think the best book on this, the semiconductor supply chain is just extraordinarily complicated and fragile.
Ezra Klein The Ezra Klein Show · Jul 2024 Just a great read for everyone, go read Chip War and go read about the competition between the US chip industry in the United States and Russia.
Whoever controls semiconductors controls the future and it turns out for reasons I didn't really understand until I read Chris Miller's book chipor and semiconductors really can be controlled... I really do recommend reading this one.

Why people recommend it
Chip War by Chris Miller is an essential exploration of the semiconductor industry and its profound influence on global geopolitics. Why people recommend it: Ezra Klein featured the book on The Ezra Klein Show to illustrate the immense complexity and fragility of the semiconductor supply chain, and later revisited it to explain the foundational importance of microchips in determining future global power. Mark Suster recommended the title on This Week in Startups while analyzing the intense economic competition between command-and-control economies and the United States. Additionally, Noah Smith told listeners of The Ezra Klein Show to read the book if they wanted to clearly understand semiconductor export controls and why they are occurring. Niall Ferguson also strongly endorsed the text on The Tim Ferriss Show, calling it the premier book on why semiconductors truly matter. Beyond these explicit endorsements, Shaan Puri mentioned reading the work on My First Million while reflecting on his investment history with Nvidia, and Jordan Harbinger referenced the author's expertise on The Jordan Harbinger Show. Together, these hosts and guests emphasize how Chris Miller's work demystifies critical modern supply chains, export policies, and the technological rivalry shaping international relations today, making it a vital resource for anyone trying to understand the intersection of technology, economics, and national security.
