Welcome to Litsy!

From your desk to your pocket, in the pharmacy and in the stock market, the technology of silicon transistors touches everyone, everywhere. We owe their proliferation to Gordon Moore. His visionary drive has enabled a revolution, bringing us from clunky computers the size of football fields to the era of Siri, and enabling us to go everywhere from the moon to The Matrix and beyond. The revolution is captured in Moore’s Law, his determination that transistor production would double and redouble over the decades, at ever shrinking cost. Computing has become cheap, powerful, and ubiquitous. Gordon Moore, a pioneer in creating Silicon Valley through his five decades at Fairchild and Intel, is both prophet and prime mover of the Information Age. Moore’s Law portrays the emergence of Silicon Valley and the transformative technologies Moore developed there, telling the story of a man whose insight and assiduity has accelerated commerce, knowledge and human progress.
