Between the Lines: Every Book Has a Rabbit Hole. We Go Down It.

Between the Lines is the podcast for people who don't just read books — they wrestle with them.

Each episode, Haricharan Mylaraiah, Arvind Mallik and Tulip Nandu read the same book and then get honest: what shifted our thinking, what we challenged, and what's actually worth keeping. No summaries. No fluff. Just two readers going down the rabbit hole together.

    Episode 2: Breakneck: China's Quest to Engineer the Future by Dan Wang
    Jun 2 2026

    A book about #China that ends up being just as much about #America.

    That's #Breakneck by Dan Wang — where Haricharan Mylaraiah, Arvind Mallik and I go deep on one of the most provocative books on global power written in recent years.

    Dan Wang spent nearly a decade living inside China. What he brings back isn't a warning or a love letter — it's an honest, sometimes uncomfortable account of a country building at breathtaking speed, at extraordinary human cost. And a mirror held up to a country that used to build like that too.

    We get into the big idea — engineers vs lawyers, China builds, America blocks — where it holds up, where it doesn't, the one-child policy, the India angle, and where all of this is headed. No clean conclusions. Just an honest conversation about a book worth arguing with.
