William Shockley was called "the man who put the Silicon in Silicon Valley", and "the single person most responsible for ushering in the computer age".
Shockley led the invention of the transistor, for which he was awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics in 1956, and his proteges went on to found companies like Intel and Fairchild Semiconductor.
Shockley was a racialist who spent the latter half of his life trying to raise awareness about race realism, the signifcant IQ gaps between races, and the dysgenic trends in birthrates, advocating for eugenic programmes to raise the birthrates of the more intelligent.
