The riveting investigative account of Nvidia, the tech company that has exploded in value for its artificial intelligence computing hardware, and Jensen Huang, Nvidia's charismatic, uncompromising CEOIn March 2024, following the revelation that ChatGPT had trained on Nvidia's microchips, and twenty-one years after its founding in a Denny's restaurant, Nvidia became the third most-valuable corporation on Earth.

It is about a revolution in computer architecture, and the small group of renegade engineers who made it happen. And it's the story of our awesome and terrifying AI future, which Huang has billed as the "next industrial revolution," as a new kind of microchip unlocks hyper-realistic avatars, autonomous robots, self-driving cars, and new movies, art, and books, generated on command.
