The World Is Flat [Updated and Expanded]: A
Brief History of the Twenty-first Century
by Thomas L. Friedman
(Author)
Reviews: Thomas L. Friedman is not so much a
futurist, which he is sometimes called, as a presentist. His aim
in The World Is Flat, as in his earlier, influential Lexus and
the Olive Tree, is not to give you a speculative preview of the
wonders that are sure to come in your lifetime, but rather to
get you caught up on the wonders that are already here. The
world isn't going to be flat, it is flat, which gives Friedman's
breathless narrative much of its urgency, and which also saves
it from the Epcot-style polyester sheen that futurists--the
optimistic ones at least--are inevitably prey to.
