The third and closing volume of the trilogy "The Architercture of the New World": the secret geopolitics of technology, from Taiwan's chips and undersea cables to rare-earth refineries…
Power has changed address. Nobody conquers plains anymore, they hold chokepoints: one fab in Taiwan, one Dutch lithography machine, a cable the width of a garden hose, a rare-earth refinery. The book walks them one by one, then hands you the open-source tools to read them yourself.
