The Thinking Machine: Jensen Huang, Nvidia, and the World’s Most Coveted Microchip
Nvidia spent thirty years building chips almost nobody wanted, then the AI boom arrived.
Stephen Witt profiles Jensen Huang and the company whose graphics processors turned out to be the hardware artificial intelligence runs on. He covers the long stretch when that bet looked eccentric, the culture Huang built, and how a chip designed for video games became the most fought-over component on earth. Well informed and readable on a genuinely important firm.

Stephen Witt, The Thinking Machine: Jensen Huang, Nvidia, and the World’s Most Coveted Microchip. A fun and well-informed look at its subject matter. There should be more books on one of the world’s most valuable companies, and yes here supply is elastic.
