Описание:

Technology insider George Gilder delivers a "compelling" (Wired) look under the hood at a genius-fueled startup. Thanks to the digital technology revolution, cameras are everywhere - PDAs, phones, anywhere you can put an imaging chip and a lens. Battling to usurp this two-billion-dollar market is a Silicon Valley company, Foveon, whose technology not only produces a superior image but also may become the eye in artificially intelligent machines. Behind Foveon are two legendary figures who made the personal computer possible: Carver Mead of Caltech, one of the founding fathers of information technology, and Federico Faggin, inventor of the CPU - the chip that runs every computer.
