Kingdom of Characters: The Language Revolution That Made China Modern by Jing Tsu

informative fast-paced

3.75

Well written story about the development and modernization of the Chinese script across centuries, technologies and political regimes. Loved the mixture of history, politics, design, technology and language. Jumping between timelines and the gap between 1980s and present day was a bit confusing at times.
