内容简介

An epic account of the decades-long battle to control what has emerged as the world’s most critical resource—microchip technology—with the United States and China increasingly in conflict.
You may be surprised to learn that microchips are the new oil—the scarce resource on which the modern world depends. Today, military, economic, and geopolitical power are built on a foundation of computer chips. Virtually everything—from missiles to microwaves—runs on chips, including cars, smartphones, the stock market, even the electric grid. Until recently, America designed and built the fastest chips and maintained its lead as the #1 superpower, but America’s edge is in danger of slipping, undermined by players in Taiwan, Korea, and Europe taking over manufacturing. Now, as Chip War reveals, China, which spends more on chips than any other product, is pouring billions into a chip-building initiative to catch up to the US. At stake is America’s military superiority and economic prosperity.
Economic historian Chris Miller explains how the technology works and why it’s so important, recounting the fascinating events that led to the United States perfecting the chip design, and to America’s victory in the Cold War by using faster chips to render the Soviet Union’s arsenal of precision-guided weapons obsolete. But lately, America has let key components of the chip-building process slip out of its grasp, leading to a worldwide chip shortage and a new war brewing with a superpower adversary that is desperate to bridge the gap.
Illuminating, timely, and fascinating, Chip War shows that, to make sense of the current state of politics, economics, and technology, we must first understand the vital role played by chips.

中国芯片破局有上、中、下三策。
下策是全面追赶，试图实现彻底的独立自主。中策是不追求全面掌控芯片行业，但是追求减少对美国的依赖。上策，不能叫「弯道超车」，或许可以称为「弯道入圈」。
「被依赖」，是当今世界给你最好的待遇。
把芯片产业发展的历史脉络和产业思路写的很透彻，美中不足的是对于中国的相关篇章看还是充满偏见和预设立场
经验就是闭门造车不可能，哪怕门里头人再多。再说了，既然闭门了，就不需要车了。
会不会有一天，出现一种新技术，完全取代芯片的地位，就像电池取代内燃机的地位。芯片不再是the most critical technology，地缘政治经济格局也将有大变化。
