Summary
This overwhelming book succumbs to the very scope of its ambition and the topics it covers: globalization and technology. Author Thomas L. Friedman literally covers the world for The New York Times, and his access to important local authorities, corporate executives, local Times bureaus and researchers, the Internet and a tape recorder has enabled him to compile a huge amount of information. All of it buttresses his views about the important convergence of political and technological change. He offers interesting anecdotes about companies worldwide and intriguing conversations with friends, reporters and experts. He conveys abundant knowledge, with incisive insights and interpretations. With that caveat, I warmly recommends this wide-ranging treatment of technology’s role in global business and politics.
