"Apple" is a cross-genre category for books in which the apple — literal or symbolic — is central to theme, setting, or subject. It includes horticulture and orchard guides, cider- and food-focused cookbooks, agricultural history and varietal catalogs, and fiction or memoirs set in apple-growing communities. It also covers works that use the apple as a literary or cultural symbol (temptation, knowledge, harvest, memory) in literary fiction, children’s stories, folklore and myth. Where useful, you can treat books about Apple Inc. and its products as a distinct subcategory (e.g., "Apple — technology") to avoid confusion with the botanical/cultural focus.

1. Apple In China by Patrick McGee
Apple in China examines how Apple’s decision to concentrate production in China helped build the country’s electronics manufacturing dominance while leaving the company deeply dependent on an authoritarian state. Drawing on interviews with former Apple employees and industry sources, Patrick McGee outlines how massive scale and profitability from iPhone manufacturing brought political and operational vulnerabilities—data rules, pressure to work with local suppliers, and exposure to Beijing’s demands. The book situates Apple’s business choices within the broader US–China geopolitical tensions.
