The book starts with the invention of the transistor at Bell Labs, and goes quickly into explaining the major topics of modern VLSI design. To a large extent, the book tries to speak about general principles of design. As opposed to tying the knowledge to a given fab process or a current linewidth.
The emphasis is on CMOS design. Which is fair, since this is the most common digital technology in use. Though earlier pMOS and nMOS efforts also get a mention, along with BiCMOS, where the latter is perhaps most useful in high speed applications.
At the systems level, you get a good discussion of such items as using a clock to synchronise actions across a chip. Alternate circuit ideas are also covered. Though space constraints mean that the book can't really go into these in the detail that they warrant.
