Suicides, excessive overtime, hostility and violence on the factory
floor in China. Drawing on vivid testimonies from rural migrant
workers, student interns, managers and trade union staff, Dying for
an iPhone is a devastating expose of two of the world's most
powerful companies: Foxconn and Apple. As the leading manufacturer
of iPhones, iPads and Kindles, and employing one million workers in
China alone, Taiwanese-invested Foxconn's drive to dominate global
electronics manufacturing has aligned perfectly with China's goal
of becoming the world leader in technology. This book reveals the
human cost of that ambition and what our demands for the newest and
best technology mean for workers. Foxconn workers have repeatedly
demonstrated their power to strike at key nodes of transnational
production, challenge management and the Chinese state, and
confront global tech behemoths. Dying for an iPhone allows us to
assess the impact of global capitalism's deepening crisis on
workers.
