Great Power Tech: Semiconductors, AI and the Geopolitics of Industrial Rivalry

Evander Knoxley

The future of global power isn't fought with tanks or treaties it's coded in silicon.

In an age defined by microchips and algorithms, a new industrial race is reshaping the balance of power. From the labs of Silicon Valley to the foundries of Taiwan and the policy corridors of Beijing and Washington, the struggle for technological dominance now defines geopolitics itself.

Great Power Tech dives deep into the forces behind this transformation, revealing how semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and strategic industrial policies have become the true levers of modern influence. Blending history, strategy, and economic insight, this book exposes the hidden systems that decide who leads and who follows in the 21st century.

In this book, you'll discover:
- How the semiconductor supply chain became the backbone of global power and why it's so fragile.
- The real motivations behind U.S. export controls and China's "Made in China 2025" initiative.
- How nations weaponize technology through trade policy, patents, and digital infrastructure.
- The rise of AI as a new frontier of industrial competition and strategic leverage.
- Why industrial policy has returned as a tool of national security.
- How corporations like TSMC, ASML, and Huawei became geopolitical actors in their own right.
- The scenarios that could define the next decade of global technology rivalry.

Written with clarity and authority, Great Power Tech is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how chips, data, and innovation now shape global order. Whether you're a policymaker, investor, student, or simply a curious observer, this book will change how you see the relationship between technology and power.
