Focus: The ASML Way, Inside the Power Struggle Over the Most Complex Machine on Earth
One Dutch company makes the machines that make advanced chips, and no one else can.
Marc Hijink reports from inside ASML, whose extreme ultraviolet lithography systems are the only way to produce the most advanced semiconductors, which makes a single company in Eindhoven a chokepoint in global technology and a piece on the board between Washington and Beijing. You need to want a book about ASML, but this is the book about ASML.

Marc Hijink, Focus: The ASML Way, Inside the Power Struggle Over the Most Complex Machine on Earth. You have to already want to read a book about ASML, but this is in fact the relevant book about ASML. To call it boring is to miss the point, because the company itself is somewhat boring.
