Chip War is good.

listened to the audiobook, highly recommend.

I have it on my list - is it good?

I’m only 100 pages in but I’m hooked! I never took the time to understand just how complex the logistics are behind the silicon that powers basically everything we rely on. Totally worth picking up.

Thanks. This comment just bumped up its importance and is now on my “must-read-soon.”

Would recommend. Its not as detailed as I would like but paints a great overall narrative of how we went from the discovery of the transistor to the current state of the industry.

It's very entertainingly written. And in an accessible style that doesn't require any insider industry knowledge. Strongly recommend.
