The Technology War

By David H. Brandin and Michael A. Harrison

This book describes the worldwide race in one of the fastest advancing technologies of our time: information technology. At stake is the traditional American dominance in computer science and microelectronics, the control of international marketplaces, and even national security. The authors describe the players, the technologies, and the stakes. They have written this volume for a broad audience; their exposition is clear and informative. They describe the state-of-the-art in information technology and present forecasts as to the most likely outcome in the near future. They offer recommendations for the United States in order for it to retain and improve its precarious dominance in the fast-changing and crucial technologies of the information age.
