“Overall, with its historical and theoretical in-depth, global and comprehensive in scope, Dying for an iPhone represents a landmark contribution to debates about Chinese labour politics. It also adds new threads to critical communication scholarship as it enriches our understanding of the relationship between communication and labour, by charting the labour politics underlying the expansion of global digital capitalism and embedded in the material base of digital communications infrastructure. It is recommended reading for anyone who wishes to reflect on the underlying human sufferings when digital technologies become mundane.”
