Description

"A chemist and founder of Intel, Gordon Moore played a major role in revolutionizing technology and shaping the growth and reach of Silicon Valley. The story of the man -- an inventor and businessman whose influence on the world is at least as great as Thomas Edison's, Henry Ford's, or Bill Gates'-- has never before been told. Under Moore's leadership, Intel became the world's leading semiconductor supplier; the innovative technology he helped to develop is present in everything from computers to traffic lights, phones to medical equipment--indeed, his seminal work on transistors has driven computing from the era of clunky calculators the size of football fields to the era of Siri, and has enabled us to go everywhere from the Moon to the Matrix. The progress of that revolution is captured in Moore's Law, his observation that computing power has doubled roughly every two years for the past half-century."--
