I keep hearing great things about Katherine Boo's Behind the Beautiful Forevers, also discussed today on Madeleine Brand.
In the interview, Boo said she wanted to capture the extremes of the rich and poor in the India, the "lopsided cosmos."
Also discussed on Brand's show, how schizophrenia and other disorders result from a common cat parasite.
I found this interesting in light of your Apple posts:
"(Reuters) - Working conditions at Chinese manufacturing plants where Apple Inc's iPads and iPhones are made are far better than those at garment factories or other facilities elsewhere in the country, according to the head of a non-profit agency investigating the plants."
