About this title

Synopsis

This book presents a general overview of microprocessor technology including fabrication methods, how microprocessors work, and the people and companies involved in their development, all set in historic perspective and written in the witty style for which Mr. Malone is known. The author evaluates the microprocessor's role in transforming society, profiles the key figures in its development, speculates about the future of emerging technologies and even theorizes about what might lie beyond the microprocessor era.

Review

Malone's account of the creation and historical development of the microprocessor is the closest account to the truth that I have seen. This book takes full advantage of a good opportunity to tell the story correctly.
