Imagine a world where your smartphone is a brick, your car is a horse-drawn carriage, and artificial intelligence is a distant dream. This is the world we might be living in if TSMC, the world's largest contract chip manufacturer, never existed.

In this episode, we explore the ripple effects of a world without TSMC, examining the profound implications for the global economy, technological innovation, and even geopolitical stability.

Join us as we unpack the hypothetical scenario of TSMC's absence, uncovering the alternative paths the semiconductor industry might have taken and the potential consequences for our world.
