Age of Ambition: Chasing Fortune, Truth, and Faith in the New China: Chasing Fortune, Truth, and Faith in the New China by Evan Osnos

4.0

I felt like this went far beyond the standard story of China. There's a lot here, and the number of perspectives is pretty broad. It was a little confusing listening to it as an audio book because some of the figures it discusses are called things like Ai, Xi and Hu, pronounced I, She and Who, respectively, so that there was a lot of "Who did X and She did Y" and it all sounded like an extended version of the Who's on First sketch. That and the slightly rambling nature of the narrative made it feel a bit loose, but that aside, it's a good insight into the heart of modern China.
