A handful of companies control the manufacturing of all the world’s semiconductors, giving them a chokehold over the computing power on which everything from the biggest data centers to the tiniest Internet- of-Things devices depend. 

The future of computing, the book argues, will be determined by who controls the ability to produce the world’s most advanced chips.

It was described by The New York Times as a “a nonfiction thriller.”

His book Putinomics: Power and Money in Resurgent Russia explores the origins of Vladimir Putin’s rule over Russia and the economic impact Putin has had. Miller’s book We Shall Be Masters examines major shifts in geopolitics in Europe and Asia over the past three centuries, exploring the rise and fall of prior empires and how this legacy shapes Russia and China today.

Professor Miller frequently writes for newspapers and magazines such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, and many others.
