The Summer 2016 issue of Philanthropy Roundtable's quarterly magazine includes a new review by Adam Keiper of Gordon Moore's biography, "Moore's Law: The Life of Gordon Moore, Silicon Valley's Quiet Revolutionary," written by Arnold Thackray, David C. Brock and Rachel Jones.
"...few people, even among the high-tech cognoscenti, know much about the Moore behind the law. Gordon Moore helped create and then guide the microchip industry. As that industry transformed modern life, he became vastly wealthy. Today he gives away his fortune through one of the biggest foundations in the United States. And yet, because he has always been a low-key individual, intensely focused on work, business, and technology, he is less familiar to the public than many Silicon Valley figures who have taken more pleasure in the limelight."
