Stephen Witt's "The Thinking Machine" offers an insightful biography of Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, a leader in AI microchip production. The book captures the rapid evolution of the tech industry, with its narrative halting in mid-2024, omitting some recent developments. Nvidia’s notable rise as a top investment and its unique market position in contrast to traditional tech giants is emphasized, highlighting how Huang's vision fuels innovation. The narrative also brings attention to market fluctuations, such as Nvidia's stock drop following the emergence of competitive AI technologies from companies like DeepSeek.
A challenge of writing about rapidly evolving tech is that the story often becomes outdated before publication, underscoring the fast pace of the industry.
Jensen Huang’s Nvidia stands apart from other Big Tech firms, becoming a household name primarily within specialized fields like gaming and artificial intelligence.
