This is the story of the company that is inventing the future.

Nvidia is the world’s first $5-trillion company and the most important corporation on Earth. Led by its charismatic CEO, Jensen Huang, it has gone from video game equipment manufacturer to conquering the global market for AI hardware, reinventing the computer and shaping life as we know it.

With unprecedented access to Huang, award-winning investigative journalist Stephen Witt takes us inside Nvidia to tell the definitive story of the greatest technology company of our times. It is the astonishing story of renegade engineers and Silicon Valley disrupters, of fearless entrepreneurs and one revolutionary leader with an extraordinarily singular vision.
