‘Miller [argues that] the future of humanity hinges on the “chip war” between two ecosystems vying to design and make the most advanced micro-processors – that of the United States and its friends (including Taiwan), and that of the People’s Republic of China. . . The result is an indispensable book.’ — Niall Ferguson, author of Doom: The Politics of Catastrophe

‘A nonfiction thriller ― equal parts “The China Syndrome” and “Mission Impossible”… If any book can make general audiences and finally recognize how [the silicon age] rivals the atomic age for drama and import ― Chip War is it’ ― New York Times

‘Chip War is essential for understanding our modern world…With a sweeping narrative that captures the people who risked a lot and made it all happen, Chris Miller tells how our chip-powered world has been shaped by constant battles – among innovators and technologies, among companies, among countries, and now, of critical importance, in the great power competition between the United States and China that will define the future of geopolitics.’ — Daniel Yergin, Pulitzer-prize winning author of The Prize: the Epic Struggle for Oil, Money and Power
