I am looking to gain knowledge of the industry from technical and economic perspectives, leveraging my software and math background. Any recommendations are fine: MooCs, books, Blogs, Twitter.

I've learned a lot from Asianometry, a YouTube channel run by the son of a retired Semiconductor engineer. It's pretty good coverage of the industry, and how we got to where we are.

I absolutely love the book Chip War by Chris Miller. A fantastic history of the semiconductor industry and the geopolitical and economic consequences of its development.
