I recently finished this book Chip War - would highly recommend for a history of the semiconductor industry and the geopolitics around the global supply chain - https://www.simonandschuster.co.uk/books/Chip-War/Chris-Miller/9781398504127

I have a weird nostalgic respect for chip makers because my dad spent his career repairing/maintaining chip making machines. As a software person, it's similar to how I feel about bitcoin miners. These are the people doing stuff with atoms that let me live my fantasies in bits.
