Suicides, excessive overtime, and 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 means 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.'
