A WideRanging Analysis Of How The Material Limits To Discrete, SiliconBased Computing Power Impact Employment And Automation.Since The End Of The Second World War, We Have Come To Expect Continual Growth In Computing Power And The Rapid Development Of Digital Technology. This Dynamic Has Enabled Informational Procedures To Supplant An EverIncreasing Range Of Human And Mechanical Activity. However, Indications That The Semiconductor Industry Is Approaching The Physical Limits Of Integrated Circuitry Pose An Existential Challenge To Intel Corporation Cofounder Gordon MooreS Law, Which Prescribes An Exponential Increase In Microchip DensityAnd, By Extension, Processing PerformanceEvery Two Years.Placing Theories Of Employment In Dialectical Conjunction With The Concrete Operations Of Computing, 100% Utilization Explores The Consequences Of Pushing Processing Power To Its Limits For A Culture Seemingly Reliant On Automation As Much As Human Labor. In Accounting For This Contradiction, Andrew Lison Offers A Corrective To Theories Of Digital Mediation Emphasizing Its Symbolic And Representational Capabilities. He Connects The Looming End Of MooreS Law To Trends In Semiconductor Manufacturing, Custom Hardware, And Parallelized Software Techniques, Including Ai. Ultimately, He Traces This Historical Technological Boom And Impending Bust Through The Racialized History Of Silicon Valley To LongerTerm Conceptions Of The Relationship Between Machinery And Labor.
