A riveting true story of industrial espionage in which a Chinese-born scientist is pursued by the U.S. government for trying to steal trade secrets, by a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in nonfiction.
In September 2011, sheriff’s deputies in Iowa encountered three ethnic Chinese men near a field where a farmer was growing corn seed under contract with Monsanto. What began as a simple trespassing inquiry mushroomed into a two-year FBI operation in which investigators bugged the men’s rental cars, used a warrant intended for foreign terrorists and spies, and flew surveillance planes over corn country—all in the name of protecting trade secrets of corporate giants Monsanto and DuPont Pioneer. In The Scientist and the Spy, Hvistendahl gives a gripping account of this unusually far-reaching investigation, which pitted a veteran FBI special agent against Florida resident Robert Mo, who after his academic career foundered took a questionable job with the Chinese agricultural company DBN—and became a pawn in a global rivalry.
Industrial espionage by Chinese companies lies beneath the United States’ recent trade war with China, and it is one of the top counterintelligence targets of the FBI. But a decade of efforts to stem the problem have been largely ineffective. Through previously unreleased FBI files and her reporting from across the United States and China, Hvistendahl describes a long history of shoddy counterintelligence on China, much of it tinged with racism, and questions the role that corporate influence plays in trade secrets theft cases brought by the U.S. government. The Scientist and the Spy is both an important exploration of the issues at stake and a compelling, involving read.
Mara Hvistendahl covered China’s renaissance in science and technology as a correspondent in Shanghai for Science. She has also written for The Atlantic, Popular Science, WIRED, and other publications. She is the author of Unnatural Selection: Choosing Boys Over Girls, and the Consequences of a World Full of Men, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Nonfiction and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. A proficient Mandarin speaker and former National Fellow at New America, she lived in China for eight years and now resides in Minneapolis with her family.

评分海外小朋友们在工作学习之余可以了解一下知识产权、数据安全、个人隐私/人权保护的相关知识。针对华裔的高智商扫雷将是近年司政对弈的主题。
评分看过supchina对作者的访问节目后借来此书。作者做了非常详尽的调查,整本书的可读性很强。在目前的政治环境下,在美华人应该做更多权利倡导活动,发出自己的声音。
评分有点冗长和不客观,不过想了解一下FBI针对在美的中国背景人士的调查的话,值得一看。主要还是经济间谍和知识产权问题,虽然稍微提及了在大公司和大学里的国人情况。若是真撞到自己头上了,大家抓住“对ethnic Chinese的歧视”,抗争到底吧!两个亮点:1. 原文“Justice in the United States is truly a qipa”;2. 男主在监狱里写的中文诗,竟然是由Celeste Ng给翻译的,原来她懂中文呐!
