This week on Rocket, tech journalist and author Christopher Mims is here to discuss his new book, Arriving Today. It's the book that critics are saying "makes supply chains interesting" (Simone de Rochefort, 2021) — and guess what he does during this interview? He makes supply chains interesting!! You have to listen to believe it and then you will immediately want to read his book. Then, Google and Apple are being hit with a new law in South Korea, and Elizabeth Holmes is finally going to trial. That is, if they can ever find a jury of her peers.
