Apple in China is a great book and shows how good China is on focusing on quality when that is the given objective.

I'm looking to update my reading list of 2026 to include anything interesting that was recently, or about to be, published.

The internet is of course full of lists about the "most anticipated" or "the hottest" books of the year/summer/etc. But these are not what I'm after.

My reading habits are a bit out of sync with the mainstream and rarely feature in lists of most popular books. (If it helps, some of my favorites include Apple in China, The Chip War, Spec Ops [by McRaven], and Chokepoints.)

I thought Goodreads would be the place to find stuff like that but was shockingly lacking.

How do you guys find (good) books to read?

Not because of the West giving China its industry, because - greed and China's blatant IP theft? Who cares if the communists make everything we consume, right? Stock price, yo.

"Apple in China" by Patrick McGee is a good read.

I like Chinese food, the arts, the folklore, they make my favorite bows (archery), but I don't want my grandkids have to learn Mandarin unless they want to.

Tangent, I always do a double take when I see CCP, as "USSR" is spelled "CCCP" in Cyrillic, it's charming (I am from a former USSR republic).
