On this hour of Modern Notion Daily, we have two guests: Arnold Thackray and David Brock. Thackray, Brock, and Rachel Jones co-wrote Moores Law: The Life of Gordon Moore, Silicon Valleys Quiet Revolutionary (Basic Books, May 2015). Gordon Moore worked at Fairchild Semiconductor in the 1960s, where he came up with Moores Law. He went on to co-found Intel and was its CEO for 50 years. In that time, he changed the way electronics were built and changed Silicon Valley as a result. Staff writer Jes Greene explains what Moores Law is, and later in the show, contributing editor Mark Hay talks about the myth of the illuminati.
