Arriving Today

By Christopher Mims

Categories: Business & Money, Computers & Technology

In Arriving Today (2021), Wall Street Journal technology columnist Christopher Mims traces the global supply chain that delivers online orders to customers' doors. Mims follows a single product from an Asian factory across the Pacific, through ports, trucks and Amazon's automated warehouses to its final delivery. He examines how automation, data and low-paid labour shape the system, and what its growth means for workers and the economy.
