The world is locked in a fierce technological arms race — and the outcome will decide who holds global power in the decades to come. At the heart of this battle lies the microchip, the tiny yet mighty component that powers everything from smartphones to artificial intelligence.

In Chips and Power, Emilio García García and Marimar Jiménez Páez take readers inside this high-stakes competition between the United States and China, where whoever masters the most advanced chip manufacturing will dominate AI, defense systems, and the next technological revolutions.

This riveting analysis reveals how chips became the cornerstone of the digital age, fueling globalization and economic interdependence — and how rising geopolitical tensions are now turning supply chains into strategic battlegrounds. The book explores how this struggle is reshaping international alliances, driving a wave of neo-protectionism, and rewriting the rules of global trade.

How did we reach this tipping point? Why does the future of the world depend on components smaller than a fingernail? Chips and Power provides the answers — offering readers a sharp, clear-eyed look at the intersection of technology, economics, and geopolitics.
