About THE THINKING MACHINE
In June 2024, spurred by the frenzy of investment following the launch of ChatGPT and thirty-one years after its founding in a Denny’s restaurant, Nvidia became the most valuable corporation on Earth. In The Thinking Machine, acclaimed journalist Stephen Witt recounts the unlikely story of how a manufacturer of video game components shocked Silicon Valley by conquering the market for AI hardware, and in the process reinvented the computer.
“The story of how Nvidia became the hottest investment on Wall Street and a household name is fascinating.” — The New York Times Book Review
