Hard Fork Presents: The Most Amazing – And Dangerous – Technology In the World

<p>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.</p><p>We'll be back with our regularly scheduled tech coverage, with Kevin and Casey next week.</p><p><strong>Additional reading: </strong></p><ul><li>“<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/02/opinion/democrats-liberalism.html">The Problem With Everything-Bagel Liberalism</a>” by Ezra Klein</li><li>Book Recommendations:<a href="https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-world-for-sale-9780197651537">The World For Sale</a> by Javier Blas and Jack Farchy; <a href="https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674028395">Nexus</a> by Jonathan Reed Winkler; <a href="https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300254235/prestige-manipulation-and-coercion/">Prestige, Manipulation and Coercion</a> by Joseph Torigian</li></ul>
