Reviews

A wide-ranging, well-written and timely overview of the sharpening competition for technology dominance in fields from Artificial Intelligence, green energy to telecoms, with a detailed case study of the pushback by the U.S. and others towards China's Huawei. Abrams' book contains a sobering discussion of how commitment and investment in education, research, and development in China have created advantages that the US and Europe may make years to catch up with--if they are able to at all. This is a balanced account, but one that speaks to an area often beset by political confusion and lack of perspective. For those who really do want to understand the role of technology in the competition between China and the outside world, and how best to frame it and manage it, this study is a good place to start. -- Kerry Brown, King's College London
