About the Book

An American-Chinese teenager, Austin Longwhite, experiences culture shock when he and his family are allowed entry into the Forbidden Country, China. Set in the near future, the Middle Kingdom, or MK, now "protects" the entire world in their hegemony. In his new Chinese school, Austin makes a few new friends, one of whom in a very unexpected circumstance. With his new friends, Austin embarks on the adventure of a lifetime, with the future of the human race at stake.
About the Author: Alan Tien grew up in a predominantly white town as an Asian American, with Chinese as his first language. He managed to overcome this "handicap" with his Tiger mom's urging ("The beatings will continue until morale improves"). Against all odds, he got into Stanford where he majored in the perfect degree for writing novels, Electrical Engineering. He had found his tribe of nerds and geeks in the sunny Bay Area (aka Silicon Valley), where he gathered material for his forthcoming best seller by doing firsthand research posing as a programmer and eventually a manager in the corporate and internet startup world. Eventually, his ruse was uncovered and he, with his young family, was exiled to China, where they spent 8 years suffering from culture shock, bad air, and excessive alcohol. Finally, he was given a reprieve and sent to the halfway house of Singapore. He occasionally is allowed home visits to see his mother in Hawaii, where he plans to be mayor one day. Suggestions that this book seems like a thinly veiled autobiography are ridiculous; obviously, I have not invented AI yet! At least, I'm not aware of it. Some have commented that is book is too slow. To you, I recommend reading Lao Tzu and Confucius. Even if you don't understand the lessons of the Masters, at least this book will seem like a Robert Ludlum thriller in comparison. But for those of you who think this could be the next Ready Player One, I congratulate you on your impeccable taste. Welcome home, my long lost brothers and sisters!
