Episode notes

Ezra Conchow: China and AI are the dominant themes of this year's Recline show. They're both stories driven by semiconductors and who controls them, he says. He talks to Chris Miller about his new book Chippor on how semiconductors really can be controlled.

Today we’re bringing you an episode on chips. No, not potato chips. Kevin has been pitching an episode on the truly fascinating world of chips and semiconductors for quite a while, but our friends at the The Ezra Klein Show got to it first. This week on Hard Fork: Ezra Klein’s engrossing conversation with historian Chris Miller. It’s a must listen. Thank you to Ezra for beating us in our quest for a great chips episode.

We'll be back with our regularly scheduled tech coverage, with Kevin and Casey next week.
