Dying For An I Phone by Vanessa Chan

An investigative exposé that chronicles the human cost behind popular smartphones, tracing the lives of migrant factory workers who endure long hours, unsafe conditions, relentless quotas and meager pay—sometimes resulting in injury, illness or suicide. Through reporting on workers, families, activists and factory management, the book reveals how subcontracting, intense production targets and weak oversight create a brutal supply chain and forces consumers and corporations to confront responsibility and possible reforms.
