In Book 1, sand became math. In Book 2, math learned to write itself. Now in Book 3, what happens when the tools we built to think begin to outpace us?
From a handful of beach sand to the most intricate cleanroom factories humans have ever built, silicon quietly swallowed everyday memory, driving, warfare, and agriculture—before turning inward to design, test, and wear out itself. When chips design better chips and software writes software, the speed of change is no longer set by humans alone.
Told in clear, accessible language through twenty paired true histories and human parables—from the hurricane floodwaters of Spruce Pine to the patient fifty-year voyage of Voyager 1—The Chip That Ate Itself reveals the hidden physical bills of our weightless digital world: the heat, the water, the supply chains, and the irreplaceable wisdom of keeping a human who can say "wait."
