Much like last year , I’m going to keep a list of all the technical books I read.
- “Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology” , by Chris Miller: 4/5, impressive book on the history of the chip industry, from TSMC and Intel towards the conflict between China and Taiwan. Gives a really interesting view on the near future by putting things into perspective.
- “Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives” , by Siddharth Kara: 5/5, scary how cobalt is mined in Congo, and often child labor is involved.
- “Chasing Shadows” , by Prof. Ron Deibert: 5/5, as a long-time follower of the work of CitizenLab I really appreciated the book. Summarizing all the important relevations they did since it was founded it, including the amazing work of John Scott-Railton and Bill Marczak. I hope they continue their work, and show the world what happens in the not-so-brightly-lit places of the public Internet!
