It is a great book, just be careful in how you interpret the coverage of the ongoing US v. China competition. I personally view that as being the primary rationale behind why the book was written.
While I wholly agree that the US should be doing everything possible to keep China from accessing high tech including chip technology, American foreign policy has once again fumbled the ball focusing on near term profits over longer term geopolitical strategy.
You'll see in the linked story below that after more than a year of hyped media coverage, the US looks to be exempting Japan, South Korea and the Netherlands from any sanctions on selling critical chip equipment to China. These exemptions alone essentially defeat fully any impact sanctions will have on China.
