Elizabeth R. (esjro) - , reviewed Arriving Today: From Factory to Front Door -- Why Everything Has Changed About How and What We Buy on + 948 more book reviews
The author covers a lot of ground in this book.... literally. This book follows a USB charger from the factory to the customer's doorstep. Along the way, the author visits and/or discusses sea containers, harbor captains, autopilot technologies, Amazon warehouses, and FedEx sorting centers, coffee delivery robots, and more. Many topics are covered and some are more interesting than others, but this book does a good job of conveying the complexity of getting all sorts of items delivered within a day or two of ordering.
