Christopher Miller

    Christopher L. Miller je profesorom na Yaleovej univerzite, kde pôsobí na katedre francúzštiny a v programe afrických a afroamerických štúdií. Jeho práca sa zameriava na africké diskurzy vo francúzštine a skúma hlboké prepojenie medzi francúzskym jazykom a africkou identitou. Jeho analýzy odhaľujú, ako sa v literatúre a kultúre formovali africké obrazy a stereotypy. Millerov výskum prispieva k hlbšiemu pochopeniu koloniálnych a postkoloniálnych vzťahov a ich literárnych prejavov.

    Čipové války: Boj o nejdůležitější technologii na světě
    • Americký historik Chris Miller nám ve knize Čipové války připomíná, že lidstvo v posledních sedmdesáti letech zažilo nejbouřlivější technologickou revoluci ve své historii - rozvoj čipů po desetiletí stoupá závratným tempem, které nemá u žádné jiné technologie obdoby. Miller tvrdí, že právě využití exponenciálně rostoucího výpočetního výkonu stálo za vítězstvím Spojených států ve studené válce a zajistilo jim současnou vojenskou a ekonomickou dominanci. Mikročipy jsou zásadním prostředkem k dosažení geopolitických ambicí, a proto jejich vývoji a výrobě věnuje stále větší pozornost i Čína. Nejpokročilejší logické čipy na světě dlouhou dobu dokázala vyrobit pouze jediná firma na Tchaj-wanu, na který si Peking stále asertivněji klade nárok. Nadcházejícím geopolitickým třenicím, jež se budou odrážet v celé světové ekonomice, proto podle Millera nemůžeme porozumět, pokud nevezmeme v potaz souboj o kontrolu nad výrobou těchto mikroskopických součástek, jež pohánějí dnešní svět.
