Synopsis "Comedy, Book One"

Comedy is a philosophical poem for the twenty-first century inspired by Dante's Commedia. It can be read as an ironic dream or fantasy that addresses the democratic idea. Book One, Archival Resurrections, explores the transindividual nature of human thought, which autonomously expands while it passes through different minds in historical time. On a walk in Seattle, the Narrator encounters his dead teacher, who becomes his guide through a world inside his own head where he encounters people from his personal past and past philosophers, poets, and statesmen, including Dante, Christine de Pizan, Spinoza, William Blake, Jefferson, Hamilton, Sally Hemings, Frederick Douglass, Lincoln, Marx, Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, and others. Part of the poem takes place in a library in the shape of an inverted cone, the antithesis of Dante's purgatory. Later, under the assumption that imagination is topological or plastic, there are visitations to Blake's cottage in Felpham, Lincoln's White House, Marx's London, and Wilde's and Joyce's Dublin. Joyce's Volta cinema is the gateway to Book Two, entitled Cinematic Revolutions, which will envision the twentieth century through its signature aesthetic form. Book Three, as yet untitled, will explore lived cityscapes as forms of life that gestate in themselves different possibilities for the future.

Patrick McGee es un periodista y autor canadiense especializado en tecnología, negocios internacionales y cadenas globales de producción. Durante años trabajó como corresponsal del Financial Times, donde cubrió especialmente temas relacionados con Apple, manufactura tecnológica y relaciones económicas entre Estados Unidos y China. Su trabajo periodístico se caracteriza por una investigación minuciosa sobre cómo las grandes compañías tecnológicas dependen de complejas redes industriales y decisiones geopolíticas. McGee ha centrado gran parte de su análisis en el impacto económico y estratégico de la producción tecnológica asiática, un terreno donde un teléfono móvil puede involucrar más diplomacia internacional que varias cumbres presidenciales juntas.

Su obra más conocida es Apple en China (Apple in China), libro de investigación centrado en la evolución de la relación entre Apple y la industria manufacturera china. En esta obra analiza cómo la compañía ayudó indirectamente al crecimiento tecnológico e industrial de China mediante inversión, transferencia de conocimiento y dependencia productiva. McGee combina periodismo corporativo, análisis económico y contexto político para mostrar cómo una de las empresas más influyentes del mundo quedó profundamente entrelazada con la economía china. Además de su labor como autor, participa frecuentemente en debates sobre globalización, tecnología y cadenas de suministro internacionales.
