Tech giant Nvidia is as valuable as Apple and Microsoft.


It has shaped the world as we know it.

This is the inside story of the company that is inventing the future and its charismatic CEO Jensen Huang.

‘Gripping and brilliantly told’ Mustafa Suleyman, author of The Coming Wave


In June 2024, Nvidia became the most valuable corporation on Earth. The Thinking Machine is the astonishing story of how a designer of videogame equipment conquered the market for AI hardware, and in the process reinvented the computer.

It is the story of a determined entrepreneur who defied Wall Street to push his radical vision for computing, becoming one of the wealthiest men alive.

And it’s the story of our awesome and terrifying AI future, as a new kind of microchip unlocks hyper-realistic avatars, autonomous robots, self-driving cars and new movies, art and books, generated on command.


**‘A page-turning biography of perhaps the most consequential CEO and company in the world’ David Epstein, author of Range


‘Brilliantly captures the riveting, unlikely story of Jensen Huang's Nvidia’ Ray Kurzweil, author of The Singularity is Nearer**

A member of what he calls the ‘pirate generation’, Stephen Witt has been bootlegging music since the mid-1990s. While amassing an archive of hundreds of thousands of pirated mp3s, he became obsessed with the subject of digital piracy, and eventually changed careers to write this thrilling investigative history. He was born in New Hampshire in 1979, raised in the Midwest and graduated from the University of Chicago with a degree in mathematics.

He spent the next six years working for hedge funds in Chicago and New York. Following a spell in East Africa working in economic development, he graduated from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism in 2011. He lives in Brooklyn, New York. How Music Got Free is his first book.
