The book provides first-hand experience on what it was like being a technology executive in both China and the U.S., how we got here, and how the global tech race will continue to play out. "Trying to deal with the politics of Corporate America while filling out spreadsheets and PowerPoints was demoralizing given that I could speak Chinese and was already an expert in Internet of Things. To my surprise upon transitioning back to China I realized they were doing things completely differently from the U.S. When I landed at Pudong airport to start a new eCommerce company in 2016 it was like I took a plane ride into the future,” said co-author Austin Groves. Millennials in Corporate America are finding it harder and harder to progress in the current culture short-term stock buybacks while the baby boomers in charge wait for retirement, stifling risk-taking and innovation from the country club parking lot. On top of this, they are dealing with the added anxiety of growing up with everything from school shootings to climate change, not to mention at least half of these millennials have been directly impacted by addiction. —all this while China, with over 400 million millennials, is largely able to bypass these issues and cannot wait to take a bigger piece of the pie that isn’t getting much larger. The authors of The Race for 5G Supremacy: Why China Is Surging, Where Millennials Struggle, & How America Can Prevail believe that if the U.S. is to regain and maintain technological dominance there is a dire need for not one, but two “Apollo Programs” to deal with not only the lack of technological progress in Corporate America, but to solve some of the devastating social issues holding American millennials back.
