I've just finished reading that book. A very interesting look at the effort to create Chinese Typewriters. Looking forward to the author's second book, which will cover the Chinese characters in the era of computing.

Here's my own review of the book [1].

I loved that book! It's interesting with the perfect balance between being academic and still being accessible.

I was just gutted, that it stops in the middle of the 20th century... Yeah, i know, Mulaney will publish a second part, but it was a bit of a let down.
