The Silicon Citizen is a household manual for the digital age. It explains semiconductors not in technical or corporate jargon, but in everyday parlance. Written for students, parents, professionals, managers, administrators and leaders, it demystifies the world of chips through simple, intuitive, and human-centered storytelling. Structured around the great interrogatives (what, why, when, how, where, who, whither, what if not, whosoever, and whereby), the book guides readers through the fundamentals of the semiconductor ecosystem. From the physics of transistors to the geopolitics of fabs, from the smartphone in your hand to the AI systems shaping the future, The Silicon Citizen makes semiconductors accessible, relatable, and understandable. This book is written with the sole purpose of making semiconductors part of everyday conversation.
