📚 Book Club Invitation: Apple in China – The Capture of the World’s Greatest Company by Patrick McGee
Hey thinkers, tech lovers, and global observers 🌏
This month, we’re cracking open Patrick McGee’s Apple in China: The Capture of the World’s Greatest Company, a sharp, deeply reported look at how the world’s most iconic tech brand got entangled in the world’s most powerful manufacturing machine.
It’s a story of design meets geopolitics, of iPhones and ideology, of innovation under the shadow of control.
If you’ve ever caught yourself wondering:
💭 “Can a company be both insanely great and ethically grey?”
💭 “What happens when Western dreams meet Eastern realities?”
💭 “And who’s really capturing whom : Apple or China?”
…then this one’s calling your name.
📅 Date: Saturday, 13 December
⏰ Time: 11:30
📍 Venue: Carpe Diem, Avenue de Tervuren 13, 1040 Brussels
Expect a juicy discussion on global power, supply chains, and the strange marriage of capitalism and communism — all over excellent coffee (or something stronger).
For those who’d like to linger, we’ll grab lunch afterward and keep the debate going, unmonitored (as far as we know 😉).
