Author of Charged Bodies, People. Power and the Paradoxes that formed Silicon Valley

In the beginning was the chip… before the Internet, Social Media and the iPhone

Charged Bodies is the history of the birth of the semiconductor, of Silicon Valley, and of the digital revolution.

Told in the words of luminaries like William Hewlett, Robert Noyce, Arthur Rock, an orchardist in Cupertino, the head of SETI in Sunnyvale—even Cap’n Crunch—this 40th Anniversary edition of Charged Bodies documents the tipping point in American and world history as told by its participants.
