Compression vs Clarity
Hong Kong, Taiwan, and what happens when their products go west
Hong Kong compresses. Taiwan clarifies.
Dense screens that show everything at once, and calm ones that show one thing at a time, are both rational answers to the conditions they grew up in. Neither survives the journey to another market unchanged. The book follows products across borders, including one bank whose app behaves as two different regimes, and asks what each style costs the people who have to use it.
