Please join us for a conversation over lunch with Chris Miller, author of Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology.
In today’s digital age, semiconductors are the backbone of nearly every technology we use, from smartphones and computers to electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. But how much do we really know about the technology that powers our world?
Dr. Miller is a professor at the Fletcher School at Tufts University and is a nonresident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a think-tank in Washington, DC. His latest book, Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology reveals the geopolitical impact of the computer chip. This book is a New York Times bestseller and a winner of the Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award, the Council on Foreign Relations Arthur Ross Book Award, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 2024 History Prize. It was featured on many “Best of 2022” book lists, including in the New Yorker and the Economist.
Chris is frequently featured and quoted in media such as the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Financial Times, as well as on NPR and CNBC. He has an MA and PhD in history from Yale University and a BA in history from Harvard University.
Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, a business professional, or just curious about how semiconductors shape the future, this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss.
