The Chip Age

How Chips Shaped Our Past and Will Define Our Future

In 2019, a Chinese entity called Tencent overtook Facebook to become the world's fifth-largest company. It was a watershed moment, a wake-up call for those in the West accustomed to regarding the global tech industry through the prism of Silicon Valley: Facebook, Google, Apple and Microsoft. Yet to many of the two billion-plus people who live just across the Pacific Ocean, it came as no surprise at all. Tencent's ambition to be an essential part of digital daily life means it holds a dizzyingly diverse range of products - music, gaming, messaging, and film. In this fascinating narrative - crammed with insider interviews, exclusive details about the company's culture - tech reported Lulu Chen tells the story of how Tencent is changing the world and asks what the consequences will be for us all.

The critically acclaimed and timely story of Tencent and China's tech ambition

Influence Empire

"A gripping, forensic account of how climate extremes are no longer future threats but present-day shocks to Britain's infrastructure and daily life." - PETER FRANKOPAN "While I saw the fragile beauty of our planet from space, David Shukman reveals how incredibly vulnerable we are on the ground. Brilliantly researched and compellingly told, this is a powerful book." - TIM PEAKE "This fascinating and gripping book has the power to open our eyes and shift our thinking in ways that few others can. Read on and get ready." - KATE RAWORTH Wildfires burning dozens of houses in London suburbs. Downpours so severe they can drown people trapped in basements. Record heatwaves paralysing our railways and hospitals. This sounds like fiction but it isn't. The climate is turning far more hostile than many realise, and tragedies are now happening on our doorstep. Even in Britain, one of the richest nations in the world, we aren't ready. We're sliding into an age in which the seemingly inconceivable suddenly becomes reality. Unpicking the threads of climate disasters that have already struck reveals a shocking reality: We could have been prepared but weren't. We could have responded to early warnings but didn't. Lives are being lost but they could have easily been saved. But it doesn't have to be this way. There are plenty of opportunities to protect ourselves, if we only pay attention to the warning signs. The Response is David Shukman's gripping account of the new extremes that our bodies, buildings and landscapes now face in Britain and around the world - and what we can do about them. More praise for David Shukman: "Masterful storytelling... this is such an important book." - JON SOPEL "A vital wake-up call for a world already on the frontlines. This is climate change stripped of rhetoric and abstraction, delivered at the painful ground level." - CHRISTIANA FIGUERES

A Story of Fire and Flood in Britain’s New World of Extremes

The Response

“Phenomenal…a jaw-dropping book.” —Jon Stewart, The Daily Show Named by The New York Times, The New Yorker, and Prospect magazine as a best book of the year, this “scrupulously reported” (The New Yorker) and “astonishing” (The Daily Telegraph, London) book rivets with its portrayal of how Apple allowed itself to become dependent on China for a huge percentage of its manufacturing, making it vulnerable and unwittingly laying the groundwork for the Asian superpower to rival the US in technological expertise. After struggling to build products on three continents, Apple turned to China’s seemingly endless supply of cheap labor. It soon deployed thousands of engineers, trained millions of workers, and invested hundreds of billions of dollars to create the most advanced global supply chain. These efforts fueled the iPhone’s dominance—but also laid the foundation for a powerful, state-supported Chinese electronics industry. What began as a business decision evolved into a cautionary tale of global trade, tech rivalry, and national security. Without intending to, Apple helped Beijing acquire technological influence that could now be weaponized—a central concern in the ongoing US-China tech war. Drawing on over two hundred interviews, Patrick McGee exposes never-before-reported details from Silicon Valley to Shenzhen: internal emails, secretive executive meetings, and overlooked voices inside the company’s China operations. You’ll meet the “Gang of Eight” executives tasked with appeasing Beijing, a Mormon missionary who launched Apple retail in China, and a veteran whose dreams of improving factory conditions were crushed by both Apple’s demands and Xi Jinping’s authoritarian crackdown. From Foxconn and Tim Cook to the Chinese Communist Party and Taiwan Semiconductor, this is a revelatory look at how Apple, in seeking efficiency, became entangled in the very politics it once claimed to challenge. For readers of Chip War, American Factory, and The Big Short, Apple in China is a searing examination of corporate power, Chinese nationalism, deglobalization, and the fragile relationship between Silicon Valley and the world’s rising superpower.

Capturing the views of over 300 business leaders on the common causes of digital transformation failure, Data Culture sets out an actionable framework to help organisations of all sizes to build successful data-driven cultures. After working as a senior executive in one of the UK's leading manufacturers, Alex Vail and a group of Chief Technology Officers conducted several research projects, including the largest ever study into the country's corporate AI capabilities. Through workshops, round tables, surveys and interviews with hundreds of C-suite technology, digital and AI leaders from FTSE350 companies, they explored why digital transformations succeed or fail; the data dependency of organisations; and how data-literate senior decision-makers really are. What emerged from the research was a clear set of success factors, grounded in mindset and behaviour elements, which have been used to create a framework that any company can follow, regardless of their size or complexity, to guarantee successful technology transformations. This book captures all of the research in an easy-to-follow guide packed with relatable scenarios of real-world technology deployment and valuable opinions from people at the coal-face of digital transformation.

Scientific Essay from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - General, grade: 1,3, Hamburg School of Business Administration gGmbH, language: English, abstract: The following report is dedicated to platform openness as a strategic parameter using the example of Google Chrome and Apple Safari. Even in the early days of the Internet and the use of browsers to access the Internet,  there was a competition in the market. This competition between the browsers of Netscape (Netscape Navigator) and Microsoft (Internet Explorer) became known under  the synonym " first browser war ". In December 1994, the market share of Netscape  Navigator 1.0 was about 80%, while the share of Internet Explorer was 3%.In November 1997, Microsoft's share was already 39%, while Netscaper's share dropped to 53%. Microsoft emerged from the war as the clear winner. For Shapiro and Varian (1999), the victory was due on the one hand to the financial advantage that Microsoft had over Netscape, and on the other hand to the Microsoft operating system, through which Internet Explorer reached many potential customers. As a result of the browser war, Netscape made the source code for all its products publicly available in 1998. This was not only the birth of today's browser "Firefox", but also the birth of today's well-known open source projects in the browser market.The first browser war shows that in the early days of browsers, factors such as "open source" or "extensions" and the associated platform openness played only a minor role in the market environment.

An urgent, indispensable guide to why Taiwan matters - for China, the West and everyone's future 'An authoritative primer to all things Taiwan' BARBARA DEMICK ¿ 'A must-read for all who are concerned about the current state of our dangerous world' MICHAEL WOOD ¿ 'Written with great knowledge, passion and insight' MARTIN JACQUES ¿ 'Kerry Brown is one of our most perceptive and accurate foreign observers of China' JOHN SIMPSON ¿ ''Anyone with a care to avoid a third world war - between China and the US - should read this book'' JACK STRAW When the bloody Chinese Civil War concluded in 1949, two Chinas were born. Mao's Communists won and took China's mainland; Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalists fled to Taiwan island. Since then, China and Taiwan have drifted into being separate political and cultural entities. Taiwan is now a flourishing democracy and an economic success story: just one of its companies produces over 90 per cent of the semiconductors that power the world's economy. It is a free and vibrant society. For the United States and the West, the island is a bastion of freedom against China's assertive presence in the region. And yet China, increasingly bellicose under Xi Jinping, insists Taiwan is part of its territory and must be returned to it. Should China blockade the island and mount an invasion, it would set off a chain reaction that would pitch it against the US - escalating a regional war into a global one. Taiwan is thus a geopolitical powder keg. The Taiwan Story helps us understand how and why we've arrived at this dangerous moment in history. With unparalleled access to Taiwan's political leaders and a deep understanding of the island's history and culture, Professor Kerry Brown provides a new reading of Taiwan, its twenty-three million people, and how they navigate being caught in this frightening geopolitical standoff. This is the essential book delving into Taiwan's unique story, buried beneath the headlines, told in an accessible, expert and urgent way.

The Taiwan Story

Es diente als Truppenunterkunft auf den Falklandinseln, 'Hotel' für VW-Beschäftigte in Emden, Gefängnis im East River und Bleibe für Ölarbeiter in Nigeria: der schlichte Frachtkahn im Zentrum dieses Buchs. Mit modularen Containern ausgestattet- dem Inbegriff standardisierter Weltwirtschaft - wurde er zu dem, was der Markt gerade verlangte.Dem Historiker Ian Kumekawa gelingt das Kunststück, anhand der Stationen eines einzigen Schiffs die großen ökonomischen und politischen Umbrüche der letzten fünf Jahrzehnte greifbar zu machen. Eine Phase, die geprägt ist von Ölboom und Privatisierung, Deregulierung der Finanzmärkte, Arbeitsplatzverlagerung in Billiglohnländer und Masseninhaftierung. In dieser Mikrogeschichte wird auf fesselnde Weise deutlich, dass hinter abstrakten Begriffen wie Offshoring und Globalisierung, Kapitalismus und Neoliberalismus immer sehr konkrete Menschen und ihre Schicksale stecken.

*SHORTLISTED FOR THE FINANCIAL TIMES BUSINESS BOOK 2022* *A TIMES BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEARS 2022* *A NEW YORK TIMES BEST BUSINESS BOOK 2022* *A FORBES ESPANA TOP TEN BOOK 2022* *A PROJECT SYNDICATE 2022 BEST READ* 'A fascinating study of the tech giant and its symbiotic relationship with the Chinese government' - Guardian 'Vital . . . More than a corporate hagiography, Ms. Chen's book offers insight into the company via executive interviews and exclusive details.' New York Times 'Influence Empire by Lulu Yilun Chen is so much more than the long-awaited story of Tencent and its vital everything app, WeChat, the messaging tool used by 1.3 billion people. It's also the sobering account of an entire generation of high-flying Chinese tech entrepreneurs, whose wings were clipped by the omnipotent hand of their own government.' -- Brad Stone, author of Amazon Unbound and The Everything Store ORDER NOW: the first definitive look at Tencent, one of the world's largest tech companies. __________ In 2017, a company known as Tencent overtook Facebook to become the world's fifth largest company. It was a watershed moment, a wake-up call for those in the West accustomed to regarding the global tech industry through the prism of Silicon Valley: Facebook, Google, Apple and Microsoft. Yet to many of the two billion-plus people who live just across the Pacific Ocean, it came as no surprise at all. Founded by the enigmatic billionaire Pony Ma, the firm that began life as a simple text-message operator invested in and created some of China's most iconic games en route to dreaming up WeChat - the Swiss Army knife super-app that combines messaging, shopping and entertainment. Through billions of dollars of global investments in marquee names from Fortnite to Tesla and a horde of start-ups, Ma's company went on to build a near-unparalleled empire of influence. In this fascinating narrative - crammed with insider interviews and exclusive details - Lulu Chen tells the story of how Tencent created the golden era of Chinese technology, and delves into key battles involving Didi, Meituan and Alibaba. It's a chronicle of critical junctures and asks just what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur in China. __________ 'There's so much fascinating detail here.' -- The Times 'Lulu Yilun Chen has written a sharply informed, smart and compelling account of the rise of some of the most powerful companies in China, which also stand among the biggest and richest tech giants in the world. Despite their enormous size and power, few outside of China know of or understand these companies. Now, thanks to Influence Empire: Inside the Story of Tencent and China's Tech Ambition, that will finally change.' -- Howard French, former NY Times Shanghai bureau chief and author of Everything Under the Heavens: How the Past Helps Shape China's Push for Global Power 'A book that tells Tencent's story has been long overdue, and Lulu Chen's account is not only comprehensive, but also a gripping business narrative. The globally influential company finally has the account it deserves.' -- David Barboza, The Wire

'Pulsing with wisdom and humanity... a masterpiece' ED YONG 'A hopeful, lyrical - even beautiful - hymn to the systems of mutual aid we embed in our material world' CORY DOCTOROW 'An extraordinary book' MARK MIODOWNIK 'You won't see the world the same after reading this book!' AUSTIN KLEON Every day, we are granted the power to travel at high speeds, fly, see in the dark, summon water from distant mountains and electricity from the sun. The systems that run our world are invisible to us until they fail. Infrastructure enables lives of astounding ease and freedom that would have been unimaginable just a century ago. These technological systems - the most complex and vast ever created by humans - have allowed us to work collectively for the public good. But these systems are now beginning to fail us. Engineering professor Deb Chachra takes readers on a fascinating tour of these essential utilities, revealing how they work, what it takes to keep them running, and just how much they shape our lives - but also the price they extract, who pays it and in what ways, as well as the threats to our infrastructure in a changing world. From Snowdonia's Electric Mountain to a solar plant in southern India, Chachra shows how we can rebuild our shared infrastructure to be not just functional but also equitable, resilient, and sustainable. We need to learn how to see these systems and to transform them, together, because the cost of not being able to rely on them is unthinkably high.
