Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Why control of the microchip industry has been the driving force of Western economic and military success, and the potential threats posed by China&&&39;s actions

&&&39;Pulse quickening. A nonfiction thriller - equal parts The China Syndrome&&&160;and Mission Impossible&&&39;&&&160;New York Times&&&160;
An epic account of the decades-long battle to control the world&&&39;s most critical resource—microchip technology
Power in the modern world - military, economic, geopolitical - is built on a foundation of computer chips. America has maintained its lead as a superpower because it has dominated advances in computer chips and all the technology that chips have enabled. (Virtually everything runs on chips: cars, phones, the stock market, even the electric grid.) Now that edge is in danger of slipping, undermined by the naïve assumption that globalising the chip industry and letting players in Taiwan, Korea and Europe take over manufacturing serves America&&&39;s interests. Currently, as Chip War reveals, China, which spends more on chips than any other product, is pouring billions into a chip-building Manhattan Project to catch up to the US.&&&160;
In Chip War economic historian Chris Miller recounts the fascinating sequence of events that led to the United States perfecting chip design, and how faster chips helped defeat the Soviet Union (by rendering the Russians’ arsenal of precision-guided weapons obsolete). The battle to control this industry will shape our future.&&&160;China spends more money importing chips than buying oil, and they are China&&&39;s greatest external vulnerability as they are fundamentally reliant on foreign chips. But with 37 per cent of the global supply of chips being made in Taiwan, within easy range of Chinese missiles, the West&&&39;s fear is that a solution may be close at hand.&&&160;
&&&39;A riveting history. Features vivid accounts and colourful characters&&&39; Financial Times
&&&39;Fascinating…A historian by training, Miller walks the reader through decades of semiconductor history – a subject that comes to life thanks to [his] use of colorful anecdotes&&&39; Forbes&&&160;
&&&39;Indispensable&&&39; Niall Ferguson
&&&39;Miller [argues that] the future of humanity hinges on the "chip war" between two ecosystems vying to design and make the most advanced micro-processors - that of the United States and its friends (including Taiwan), and that of the People’s Republic of China. . . The result is an indispensable book.&&&39; More
