Synopsis "Comedy, Book Two"

Comedy is a philosophical poem in the form of waking dream, inspired by Dante and William Blake. In book two, Cinematic Revolutions, the narrator, having passed through a cinema screen at the end of book one, arrives in the middle of a World War I field of dying men. An indescribable human figure appears who warns that these cinematic images are not real but projections of the cinematic mind with its power of empathy. Assuming different shapes and identities, this generic being becomes the narrator's guide. Through a series of dialogues and encounters, cinema and the visual culture it generates are identified with a cultural revolution--the nonviolent revolution--that surpasses the violent revolutions of the twentieth century. This view is articulated through encounters with Russian revolutionary Trotsky, twelve modernist writers and the philosopher Wittgenstein, Hitchcock, three dictators (Hitler, Stalin, Mao), a cinematic Jesus Christ, Holocaust historian Raul Hilberg, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, and James Baldwin. Interspersed among these encounters are cinematic visions from directors like Eisenstein, Chaplin, and others. From Paris to Memphis, passing through Pasolini's black and white desert in Gospel according to Saint Matthew, descending into the dark underworld of Fritz Lang's Metropolis, rising into a Hollywood heaven of the forties, and standing on top of the Empire State Building with King Kong, cinematic images channel revolutionary desires and the necessity of nonviolence.

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.
