Summary
:
Friedman discusses how the key to understanding the 21st century is understanding that the planet's three largest forces: Moore's law (technology), the market (globalization) and Mother Nature (climate change and biodiversity loos) are accelerating all at once. And these accelerations are transforming the five key realms: the workplace, politics, geopolitics, ethics, and community. Friedman posits that we should purposely "be late" we should pause to appreciate the amazing historical epoch we're passing through and to reflect on its possibilities and dangers.
