According to my daughter I'm "in love with books".

I read a lot of Nonfiction books related to Cyber Security, Organizational Development, and Software Development in general. I'm interested in the human side of technology.

Chris Miller: Chip War (Paperback, Simon + Schuster UK)

An epic account of the decades-long battle to control the world's most critical resource―microchip technology …

Chip War is a compelling read, recounting the history of integrated circuits or computing in general. It touches many of the foundational personalities, companies and their connections around the world.

Insiring book, highlighting a overlooked aspect of software archtecture
