BLOCKCHAIN CHICKEN FARM: AND OTHER STORIES OF TECH IN CHINA’S COUNTRYSIDE
From chickens with Fitbit-like health monitoring devices, to pesticide-spraying drones, Xiaowei Wang explores communities and industries in rural China that are adopting high technology with enthusiasm and at startling scale. A former Silicon Valley software engineer with academic training in geography, Wang has written a book that portrays high capitalism in seemingly farflung corners with humorous vignettes of human actors behind global supply chains, interwoven with dense meditations on culture, policy, and technology.
