From the boardrooms to the court rooms this is the gripping story of how Apple became the
world's most valuable company and of the lawmakers and entrepreneurs determined to knock it
off its pedestal. Since the invention of the iPhone and App Store Apple has built a near
unassailable market power controlling not only commerce but also culture and - increasingly
- the flow of ideas. In response a loose rebel alliance of tech entrepreneurs has formed to
lay siege to Apple bringing together Epic Games' Tim Sweeney Spotify's Daniel Ek X's Elon
Musk and WeChat's Pony Ma. In the trenches of popular opinion and now in the courtrooms of
Europe and the United States this rebellion aims to tear down Apple's walls and dismantle its
alleged monopoly. iWar weaves together the story of Apple's rise and reign with the political
and international forces arrayed against it in the fight over control of the global digital
economy. The stakes couldn't be higher.
