While most commentators think of the microchip as the 'new oil', for Chris Miller it's the defining technology in the balance of global military power. The winner of the 2022 Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year award explains why.

Just like fashioning decorative shapes and figures using the Japanese art of folding paper, tracing when and where origami originated is complicated. But what cannot be disputed is its incredible influence in modern engineering. While styles of origami can be incredibly diverse, the art is rooted in mathematical principles that make it applicable to science and industry. The ability to fold two-dimensional structures into complex, yet compact three-dimensional shapes is especially valuable to space sciences and missions, where it pays to keep payloads small.
