FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR
The Perfect Police State


—Kirkus starred review
—Publishers Weekly
“The future has arrived and it is beyond anything George Orwell could have imagined. In this important new book, Cain details exactly how the Chinese Communist Party deployed 21st century technology – facial recognition, DNA tracking, artificial intelligence – to trap millions of its own citizens in a terrifying dystopia.”
—Barbara Demick, author of Nothing to Envy:
Ordinary Lives in North Korea
FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR
Samsung Rising

—Asia Times
“Cain’s writing is appropriately damning of Samsung’s failures and admiring of its achievements, providing a comprehensive look at one of the most secretive and consequential companies in the world.”
—The Verge
- The Wall Street Journal
