Thank you to Farrar, Straus and Giroux and NetGalley for the Reader's Copy!

It is impossible to live in the US today and not hear about the rise of the Chinese economy. Yet, for most people, the impact of rapid technological changes on daily lives of Chinese folk, especially folk in rural areas, remains a mystery. What "Blockchain Chicken Farm" does is clear some of the misconceptions about rural China (ie that it is backwards, less competitive, laid back) while documenting really fascinating micro industries (blockchain chicken farming, pearl mining, third party buying). What I loved most about this book was the way Wang delved into the personal lives of the Chinese people, whether through interviews or personal explorations. Some of the material seems straight out of science fiction (block chain chicken farms, really???) but as often happens in life, the truth is stranger than fiction. A fascinating read!
