SUMMARY:Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology by Chris Miller - book club
DESCRIPTION:September 12\, 2024\nChip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology by Chris Miller \n ‘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’ Forbes  \nPower 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 naïve assumption that globalizing 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. \nIn 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. \nDr. Miller is associate professor at the Fletcher School at Tufts University and is a nonresident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute\, a think-tank in Washington\, D.C. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Book Club - The Future of Geography: How The Competition in Space Will Change Our World By Tim Marshall
DESCRIPTION:Spy satellites orbiting the moon. Space metals worth more than most countries’ GDP. People on Mars within the next ten years. This isn’t science fiction—it’s reality. \nHumans are venturing up and out\, and we’re taking our competitive spirit with us. Soon\, what happens in space will shape human history as much the mountains\, rivers\, and seas have impacted civilizations around the world. It’s no coincidence that Russia\, China\, and the USA are leading the way. The next fifty years will change the face of global politics and the world order as we know it. \nIn this must-read work\, bestselling author Tim Marshall navigates the new astropolitical reality to show how we got here and where we’re heading. Extensively researched\, “thought-provoking” (Popular Science)\, and drawing on the latest information from intelligence\, government\, and civilian institutions\, this book provides a detailed\, clear account of the new space race\, the power rivalries\, and how technology\, economics\, and war have a ripple effect on everyone across the globe. Written with all the insight and wit that have made Marshall one of the world’s most popular and trusted writer on geopolitics\, The Future of Geography is an essential read about global power\, politics\, and the future of humanity. \n  \nFrom the New York Times bestselling author of Prisoners of Geography and leading geopolitics expert comes an “insightful\, hopeful\, and endlessly fascinating” (Daily Express) book on today’s space race—including the increasingly tense power struggle between the US\, China\, and Russia and what it means for all of us here on Earth. \nRegister at https://www.wachh.org
