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. In Chip War, economic historian Chris Miller traces how advances in chip design reshaped global power, helping define the outcome of the Cold War and underpinning decades of technological dominance. Today, that edge is under threat as supply chains stretch across Taiwan, Korea, Europe and the United States, while China pours billions into building its own semiconductor capabilities.

With 37 per cent of the world’s chips manufactured in Taiwan — within reach of Chinese missiles — the battle to control this industry will shape the future of global security and economic stability.
