Jenny Chan, Mark Selden, Ngai Pun: Dying for an IPhone (2020, Haymarket Books) 3 stars

I checked this out at our monthly school trip to the library. LOTS of kids wanted to know what it is about. So it’s gonna be my “Drop Everything And Read” book now. I hope the provocative title and cover art keep inspiring students to ask questions. One thing right away: is this my issue with Wark’s book… that the fundamental aspects of capitalism are in fact alive and well? Like, how do “information vectors” have anything to do with the experience of Foxconn workers, directly?
