Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,906
In his most ambitious work to date, Thomas L. Friedman shows that we have entered an age of dizzying acceleration - and explains how to live in it. Due to an exponential increase in computing power, climbers atop Mount Everest enjoy excellent cell phone service, and self-driving cars are taking to the roads. A parallel explosion of economic interdependency has created new riches as well as spiraling debt burdens.

Would you try another book from Thomas L. Friedman and/or Oliver Wyman?
Sure
What did you like best about this story?
The narrative bringing the various components of the technology boom together was helpful to understand how we get from a point in history to now and beyond. The back 1/3 of the book felt like it belonged all by itself as a narrative surrounding an interesting social experiment with interesting people.
Have you listened to any of Oliver Wyman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes. Similar
Did Thank You for Being Late inspire you to do anything?
Attempt to keep up with changes in tech and be less rigid in what roles various tech will play in our lives.
