Hey Julen, interesting review of the book. You’ve got me interested in this ant tribe social phenomenon haha. I know you wrote this post a while ago, but do you have any other thoughts about it?

[...] that it has spread widely in society, to the point that even the work of intelligent people, like Lian Si, is polluted by it. Not to mention accomplished idiots like that guy who writes for Shanghai [...]

Yeah, I read it in Chinese, I don’t think it is available in English. If you want you should be able to find it easily on the internet, these hot books always get pirated, just look for 蚁族廉思。

On the other hand, I always think that it’s easier to read it from a paper copy, and anyway it is so cheap in China that it is worth getting a copy. See dangdang and amazon.cn links above.

Thanks Dani. Go for it, it is quite an easy book to read for us foreigners, most of the authors use relatively simple language, and the stories are amusing enough. Not the greatest read, but it is good to have at home for the data it contains.

Anyway if you are in China it costs just 2 Euros to get a book at your place by tomorrow, through Dangdang or Amazon.cn. This is one of the things I like most of living in China

Sounds really interesting, one of the topics I´m more interested about China, especially because many of my friends have the same problems. As you mention, the problem is not only that there are too many graduates, but especially that the economy is not ready to give them good jobs and salaries.

Great post, you convince me to check it out.
