This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. The "30-year overnight success" that built the backbone of the AI revolution. How did a child from the markets of Taiwan—who once scrubbed toilets at a Kentucky reform school—become the longest-serving CEO in Silicon Valley and the architect of a trillion-dollar empire?
