Chris Miller has won the Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award for Chip War, his timely and important account of the global battle for semiconductor supremacy, in one of the tightest contests since the prize started in 2005
Miller received the £30,000 prize, presented to the year’s “most compelling and enjoyable” business book, at a ceremony in London on December 5.”
The judges’ discussion of the shortlist of six titles ended with a close-fought battle between Chip War and The Power Law, a history of the venture capital industry by Sebastian Mallaby, a previous winner of the prize.
Roula Khalaf, editor of the FT and chair of the book award judging panel, described Chip War as one of the most important books she had read this year. “The fight for semiconductors and the quest for supply chain resilience are among the biggest economic and business stories of our time and will be for much of the near future,” she said. .”
