Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology

內容簡介

內容簡介 《晶片戰爭》中美世紀強權爭霸：影響世界的隱形之戰《金融時報》2022商業圖書獎昔日，世界為了石油而戰；今日，強權相爭的掣肘是晶片！經濟歷史學家克里斯·米勒在此書中，從半導體於人類現代生活之必要著墨，清楚闡述半導體製程技術，和全球民生、軍事、經濟、政治如何有著千絲萬縷的關係。甚至表示晶片可說是當代最被低估的稀缺資源。數十年前，發明積體電路設計的美國公司德州儀器，協助政府將技術帶來的計算能力大躍進運用在對俄軍事上。先進計算大幅改良炸彈精確度和射程、讓美國於冷戰中贏得優勢。那是美國半導體科技曾經的榮光時刻。但數十年後，過去坐穩IC設計及製造領頭羊的美國，其地位和優勢不斷在下滑。短短數十載，晶片製造已逐漸脫離美國掌控；台灣、韓國、和歐洲崛起，正動搖其製造業地位。作者提及，台灣當年鎖定致力發展半導體科技，不只是為了增加就業機會、提升經濟價值，更是有目標的將此科技打造為護國之盾！當台灣掌握世界9成先進晶片製程，等於讓整個世界尤其美國，間接介入台海地緣政治、一同承擔戰爭風險！過去幾年，中國如虎如狼的在晶片上投入大量的金錢及人力，試圖超台趕美。讓美國的軍事和經濟地位面臨世紀威脅；因此美國政府終在2022年，集結多國聯盟，對中國發動一連串半導體禁令。得晶片者得天下，烽火已起，科技戰已然成為中美兩超級大國的新冷戰戰略手段！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 semiconductor came to play a critical role in modern life and how the U.S. became dominant in chip design and manufacturing and applied this technology to military systems. America’s victory in the Cold War and its global military dominance stems from its ability to harness computing power more effectively than any other power. But here, too, China is catching up, with its chip-building ambitions and military modernization going hand in hand. America has let key components of the chip-building process slip out of its grasp, contributing not only to a worldwide chip shortage but also a new Cold War 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."Remarkable book…An eye-popping work, a unique combination of economic and technological—and strategic—analysis."—Paul Kennedy, bestselling author of The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers"Miller’s brain works like the computer chip he writes about. It is packed with dizzying, complex circuitry that results in sparkling clarity. He has written not only an amazing story, but also one of overwhelming importance that is both taut in style and epic in scope."—Robert D. Kaplan, New York Times bestselling author of The Revenge of Geography and Asia’s Cauldron"Essential for understanding our modern world. With a sweeping narrative...Chris Miller tells how our chip-powered world has been shaped by constant battles—among innovators and technologies, among companies, among countries, and now, of critical importance, in the great power competition between the United States and China.”—Daniel Yergin, Pulitzer-prize winning author of The Prize, The Quest, and The New Map“The future of humanity hinges on the ‘chip war’ between two ecosystems vying to design and make the most advanced micro-processors. Chip War provides just the historical perspective we need as the Sino-American rivalry intensifies. An indispensable book.”—Niall Ferguson, Milbank Family Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford, and author of Doom: The Politics of Catastrophe"Captures the essence of the most critical and strategic element of the 21st century geostrategic competition. Brilliantly and entertainingly written, deeply convincing, and grounded in both history and technology. A tour de force!"—Admiral James Stavridis, USN (Ret); Vice Chair, Global Affairs, The Carlyle Group; 16th Supreme Allied Commander of NATO; and author of 2034: A Novel of the Next World War
