4 hand-picked technology/business and investigative journalism books curated by NextBookAfter.
You watched one tech giant contort itself for authoritarian profit. Now see how the entire world economy bends around the chips that power every device—and every empire's vulnerability. For readers who craved unflinching takedowns of corporate complicity and geopolitical gamesmanship, this is the supply chain chokepoint where innovation becomes imperialism and every phone is a treaty violation waiting to happen.
If you devoured Going Infinite for Michael Lewis's awkward-genius character study of SBF, The Fund gives you another financial titan whose unconventional empire-building feels even more surreal. Rob Copeland unpacks a hedge fund colossus with the same sharp, non-judgmental lens—all the insider anecdotes, systemic failures, and billionaire decision-making drama you crave, but this time the machine is still running.
If you devoured 'The Omnivore's Dilemma' for its brutal takedown of corporate food greed and ethical consumption wake-up calls, get ready for a similar thrill ride through globalization's dark underbelly. 'The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy' mirrors Pollan's investigative journey, tracing a simple shirt from cotton fields to sweatshops, exposing anti-corporate truths and sustainability battles. It's the perfect follow-up for eco-conscious readers craving more intellectual ammo against industrial excess.
If Karen Hao's surgical dissection of OpenAI's power plays validated your skepticism about Silicon Valley's utopian promises, you're ready for the next unvarnished exposé. Kashmir Hill delivers the same journalistic rigor and boardroom access, but trained on facial recognition's quiet invasion—where innovation becomes surveillance and corporate overreach hides behind disruption.
