A fantastic read.

I originally skipped this book thinking it would be overly focus on the sensational headlines surrounding labor issues at Apple suppliers like Foxconn, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it captures many fascinating aspects of the way Apple works and worked to modernize advanced manufacturing.

Highly recommended, and I've basically read them all. It's filled with original reporting you don't find in other books on Apple.

Is the dragon part of the Apple logo in China or is it just a graphic for the book cover?

Think what you will, but I wasn't. They're just the thoughts that popped out of my head. How would they make any money on a $2 book if they paid for shills? I think the price alone is enough to juice sales from the mildly interested.

Jesus Christ, we all already know that US tech companies spent decades outsourcing production for the cheap labor in Asia. Why pay any amount of money for that information? Who is this book for, even? The title refers to Apple as "the world's greatest company," which only appeals to Apple ecosystem douchebags, but they get livid when someone questions their beloved company. The rest of us already know that they charge $1200 for a product that they paid only $1-2 to assembly workers to make, and now they offload that to India because their caste system makes even worse labor laws.
Well, it's not just cheap labor, The idea that China 'won' the manufacturing game is often oversimplified. If you read this and Breakneck, you'll get a much more nuanced perspective on how they actually scaled.

Some people enjoy learning and experience it similarly to exploration.

Your opinions of Apple are valid but your desire to control others opinion of Apple are not. This is coming from someone who despises Apple.

"Why pay money for a nuanced understanding of a specific topic?" That's how you sound. Ew.
