Produktbeschreibung

Nvidia is as valuable as Apple and Microsoft. Their AI hardware has shaped the world as we know it. This is the story of the company that is inventing the future.

'Gripping and brilliantly told' Mustafa Suleyman, author of The Coming Wave

In June of 2024, thirty-one years after it was founded in a diner, Nvidia became the most valuable corporation on Earth. The Thinking Machine is the astonishing story of how a video game equipment designer conquered the market for AI hardware, and in the process re-invented the computer.

Essential to Nvidia's meteoric success is its visionary CEO Jensen Huang, who more than a decade ago bet his entire company on AI. Through unprecedented access to Huang, his friends, his investors, and his employees, Witt documents the company's epic rise and its single-minded and ferocious leader, now one of Silicon Valley's most influential figures.

The Thinking Machine is the story of how Nvidia evolved to supplying hundred-million-dollar supercomputers. It is the story of a determined entrepreneur who defied Wall Street to push his radical vision for computing. It's the story of our awesome and terrifying AI future, as a new kind of microchip unlocks hyper-realistic avatars, autonomous robots, self-driving cars, and new movies, art, and books, generated on command.

'A page-turning biography of perhaps the most consequential CEO and company in the world' David Epstein, author of Range

'Brilliantly captures the riveting, unlikely story of Jensen Huang's Nvidia ... Exceptional reporting' Ray Kurzweil, author of The Singularity is Nearer
