Si hay un conflicto que est? definiendo ahora mismo la geopol?tica mundial es la guerra de los chips. Todas las tecnolog?as actuales, de los misiles a los microondas, de los smartphones a los coches, funcionan con semiconductores. La econom?a mundial, el equilibrio de poderes, la supremac?a militar y el desarrollo industrial dependen de su producci?n constante. Hasta hace poco, Estados Unidos era el principal productor de semiconductores, lo que le permit?a mantener su liderazgo como primera superpotencia mundial.

Sin embargo, su posici?n dominante se ve cada vez m?s amenazada por competidores de Taiw?n, Corea, Europa y, sobre todo, China, que inyecta anualmente miles de millones en un programa de fabricaci?n de procesadores con el fin de alcanzar a su competidor estadounidense. No solo est? en juego la prosperidad econ?mica de Estados Unidos, sino tambi?n su superioridad militar.

Chris Miller muestra c?mo los microprocesadores han revolucionado el mundo y cambiado el curso de la Historia, y c?mo la lucha por esta tecnolog?a podr?a conducir no solo a su escasez mundial, sino tambi?n al nacimiento de una nueva Guerra Fr?a con una superpotencia hostil desesperada por cubrir la brecha que la separa de su rival. Esclarecedor, pertinente y cautivador, La guerra de los chips es una obra esencial para entender el papel vital de esta tecnolog?a en la situaci?n pol?tica y econ?mica actual y el futuro que nos espera.

If there's one conflict that's defining global geopolitics right now, it's the chip war. All of today's technologies, from missiles to microwaves, from smartphones to cars, are powered by semiconductors. The world economy, the balance of power, military supremacy, and industrial development depend on its constant production. Until recently, the United States was the leading producer of semiconductors, allowing it to maintain its leadership as the world's leading superpower.

However, its dominant position is increasingly threatened by competitors from Taiwan, Korea, Europe and, above all, China, which annually injects billions into a processor manufacturing program in order to catch up with its American competitor. Not only is America's economic prosperity at stake, but so is its military superiority.

Chris Miller shows how microprocessors have revolutionized the world and changed the course of history, and how the struggle for this technology could lead not only to its global scarcity, but also to the birth of a new Cold War with a hostile superpower desperate to bridge the gap separating it from its rival.Enlightening, pertinent and captivating, The Chip Wars is an essential work to understand the vital role of this technology in the current political and economic situation and the future that awaits us.
