Postcards from Tomorrow Square: Reports from China
by James Fallows

Since December 2006, "The Atlantic Magazine"'s James Fallows has been writing some of the most discerning accounts of the economic and political transformation occurring in China. The ten essays collected here cover a wide-range of topics: from visionary tycoons and TV-battling entrepreneurs, to environmental pollution and how China subsidizes our economy. Fallows expertly and lucidly explains the economic, political, social, and cultural forces at work turning China into a world superpower at breakneck speed. This eye-opening and cautionary account is essential reading for all concerned not only with China's but America's future role in the world.

"In a series of sharply observed essays, James Fallows gives us a top-notch primer on contemporary China. Wisely eschewing the easy view from Beijing, he takes us to the factories and export zones that have turned China into an economic powerhouse, the fantasy world of a megalomaniacal Chinese robber baron and the nether world of the Internet police. His lucid writing makes these topics not only understandable but a pleasure to explore. I would unreservedly recommend this book to anyone interested in a fresh perspective on what remains the most remarkable rise of a country in a century. "
