The Thinking Machine (Viking)
Friday, 28 November 2025

Subtitled "Jensen Huang, Nvidia, and the World's Most Coveted Microchip", this book explains how a designer of video game equipment conquered the market for AI hardware. Essential to Nvidia’s meteoric success is its visionary CEO Jensen Huang, who more than a decade ago, on the basis of a few promising scientific results, bet his entire company on AI. Through access to Huang, his friends, his investors, and his employees, Stephen Witt documents for the first time the company’s epic rise and its single-minded and ferocious leader, now one of Silicon Valley’s most influential figures.

The book explains how Nvidia evolved to supplying hundred-million-dollar supercomputers. Witt also explores the story of our AI future, which Huang has billed as the ‘next industrial revolution,’ as a new kind of microchip unlocks hyper-realistic avatars, autonomous robots, self-driving cars, and new movies, art, and books, generated on command.
