This year we have already recommended a few books, but unlike this one, I have read all of them. However, the one that is being published now will not be available for reading until the second half of October, or rather, some bookstores are even reporting the release date as November 12, 2026. Whether the book reaches us a few days earlier or later, it is definitely worth reading. Nvidia is the first company in history to reach a market capitalization of $6 trillion, and behind its success is one fascinating man, Jensen Huang. He built a company that first dominated the gaming world and later the world of AI. In the book, you will read everything from the moment Nvidia was founded in 1993, how its first NV1 chip almost brought it to bankruptcy, to the moment when it became the most valuable company in the world in 2024, beating even Apple.
The book was written by Stephen Witt, who writes about technology for publishers such as the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times or The New Yorker. The book is written in such a way that even the most casual user can understand the complex processes of technical chip production. In it, Witt tells the story of a company that changed the world. Both on a personal level, when he is involved in company leadership and management, and on the technical side. You will learn how an extreme turning point occurred in 2006, when Nvidia released the CUDA software layer, thanks to which it is possible to use the performance of a graphics card for purposes other than graphics calculations. This was precisely what was behind the later success of the cards, which began to be used for AI. So if you don't have anything else to read and want to read a book about how one man in his typical leather jacket managed to build one of the most valuable companies in the world, you have the opportunity.
