Simultaneously fascinating and extremely dry. The chip making supply chain is just as complicated as the chips themselves, and the TL;DR of this book is that the world’s dependence on Taiwan is a bigger risk than most people realize.
The book can be summed up in this quote:
"After a disaster in Taiwan, in other words, the total costs would be measured in the trillions. Losing 37 percent of our production of computing power each year could well be more costly than the COVID pandemic and its economically disastrous lockdowns. It would take at least half a decade to rebuild the lost chipmaking capacity. These days, when we look five years out we hope to be building 5G networks and metaverses, but if Taiwan were taken offline we might find ourselves struggling to acquire dishwashers." (Chris Miller, Chip War)
