Christopher Miller

    Christopher L. Miller je profesorem na Yaleově univerzitě, kde působí na katedře francouzštiny a v programu afrických a afroamerických studií. Jeho práce se zaměřuje na africké diskurzy ve francouzštině a zkoumá hluboké propojení mezi francouzským jazykem a africkou identitou. Jeho analýzy odhalují, jak se v literatuře a kultuře formovaly africké obrazy a stereotypy. Millerův výzkum přispívá k hlubšímu pochopení koloniálních a postkoloniálních vztahů a jejich literárních projevů.

    Čipové války: Boj o nejdůležitější technologii na světě
    • 2024

      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.
