Silicio - English Fan Translation

Description

Ensglish translation using Calibre Feature. Federico Faggin is the Italian Steve Jobs, an idol, a hero, for all scientists and technology enthusiasts. Born in Vicenza and then moved to Silicon Valley, with his inventions, from the microprocessor to the touchscreen, he contributed to shaping the present that we all know. In this autobiography he recounts his four lives, from childhood to his first jobs, from the controversy with Intel for the attribution of paternity of the microprocessor, up to his passionate commitment to the scientific study of awareness. Four very dense lives, of successes and setbacks, of discoveries and changes, of friends and enemies, which Faggin retraces step by step and enriches with anecdotes regarding his private life and insights into the technologies he invented. "I was born into a new life every time, observing the world from unsuspected points of view, my mind expanded to new understandings. I was born into new lives when I stopped rationalizing, I listened to my intuition and I opened up to the mystery."
