Hi everyone. I wrote a book. It’s about my 40 years covering the game and the concurrent growth of the game. Loved re-reporting some of my favorite stories, one per year, over 4 decades. Out in October. Preorder here: https://t.co/LnZpEnoLXx
For 2025, I am bringing you not only a book, but a series of book interrogations, happening all around the country over the next few months, hopefully including a city near you!
Happy New Year!
So gratifying to see my colleagues get shoutouts in the public sphere! Editorial work can be lonely work sometimes, so these little moments of recognition count for a lot. (This is from the NYT's "By the Book" feature this week with Glory Edim.) Congrats, @ginabiaquinta!
So great a warrior was Achilles that the very sight of him threw the enemy into childlike terror and panic--but his spear can't hurt you now.
Socrates' spear, on the other hand, can fly thousands of years into the future—and very soon it will be heading straight at you.
On a perfect California day in June 2024, I found myself at Caltech sitting across a table from Jensen Huang. It was just four days before Nvidia became the most valuable company in the world.
This is the story of how the founder and CEO built Nvidia into the $3 trillion King of AI. It starts with a simple chisel-tip, dry-erase marker.
Today, you can read the first excerpt from my new book, THE NVIDIA WAY, at Barron's. It will be released on December 10th. I recommend you pre-order the book, as the first print run may sell out before the holidays. I hope you enjoy it.
First physical review copies of THE NVIDIA WAY have arrived 😱

I'm thrilled to announce that my book, THE NVIDIA WAY, will be released on December 10 and is available for pre-order.
-The book is the first comprehensive, detailed business history of Nvidia, drawn from over 100 interviews-including Jensen Huang and his two co-founders, the two original VC investors, early former employees, current senior executives, and technology industry CEOs.
-THE NVIDIA WAY offers enduring life success lessons from Nvidia's history, distinct work culture, and Jensen's unorthodox and effective management style.
-Jensen is the King of Founder Mode. The book includes more than two dozen Jensen-isms: his management principles, mantras and catchphrases. It also covers how Nvidia survived multiple near-death experiences to become the best-performing stock in U.S. history and the most important technology company in the world, worth $3 trillion.
As a new author, pre-orders are enormously important for exposure and securing bookshelf space. If you have EVER found my work useful, this is your opportunity to support deeply researched, serious, and substantive journalism.
Please retweet this post and pre-order THE NVIDIA WAY at your favorite bookstore. The first print run could easily sell out before the holidays, so order early.
Here's what the best, critically acclaimed business authors say about THE NVIDIA WAY:
"THE NVIDIA WAY is a riveting history of Nvidia's unexpected ascent to the top of the tech sector―and a compelling case for why cofounder Jensen Huang is one of history's great CEOs."
―Chris Miller, New York Times best-selling author of Chip War
"A captivating history of one of the world's most important companies and what made it so great. Tae Kim deftly narrates Nvidia's incredible achievements and instructive failures, and also captures the unique philosophies, motivations, and bets of its founders, scientists, and staffers."
―Matthew Ball, best-selling author of The Metaverse: Building the Spatial Internet
CONGRATS, @MikeSilver! This epic story is a must read for anyone who wants to learn how a group of ambitious young men came to dominate pro football.
