Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology by Chris Miller

I learned a lot from reading Chip War! But where this book fell short is in its analysis. I'd have loved to see Miller grapple with the harsh origin of chips. I mean, this technology was developed in large part so that the U.S. military could kill more people with increasingly efficient weaponry. I wish he'd elaborated: What did early Silicon Valley executives think about the violence their creation enabled? How do we reconcile all their "good" applications with the harm made possible by computer chips?
