A field guide to the twenty-first century, written by one of its most celebrated observers

We all sense it―something big is going on. You feel it in your workplace. You feel it when you talk to your kids. You can’t miss it when you read the newspapers or watch the news. Our lives are being transformed in so many realms all at once―and it is dizzying.

In Thank You for Being Late, a work unlike anything he has attempted before, Thomas L. Friedman exposes the tectonic movements that are reshaping the world today and explains how to get the most out of them and cushion their worst impacts. You will never look at the world the same way again after you read this book: how you understand the news, the work you do, the education your kids need, the investments your employer has to make, and the moral and geopolitical choices our country has to navigate will all be refashioned by Friedman’s original analysis.

Friedman begins by taking us into his own way of looking at the world―how he writes a column. After a quick tutorial, he proceeds to write what could only be called a giant column about the twenty-first century. His thesis: to understand the twenty-first century, you need to understand that the planet’s three largest forces―Moore’s law (technology), the Market (globalization), and Mother Nature (climate change and biodiversity loss)―are accelerating all at once. These accelerations are transforming five key realms: the workplace, politics, geopolitics, ethics, and community.

Why is this happening? As Friedman shows, the exponential increase in computing power defined by Moore’s law has a lot to do with it. The year 2007 was a major inflection point: the release of the iPhone, together with advances in silicon chips, software, storage, sensors, and networking, created a new technology platform. Friedman calls this platform “the supernova”―for it is an extraordinary release of energy that is reshaping everything from how we hail a taxi to the fate of nations to our most intimate relationships. It is creating vast new opportunities for individuals and small groups to save the world―or to destroy it.

Thank You for Being Late is a work of contemporary history that serves as a field manual for how to write and think about this era of accelerations. It’s also an argument for “being late”―for pausing to appreciate this amazing historical epoch we’re passing through and to reflect on its possibilities and dangers. To amplify this point, Friedman revisits his Minnesota hometown in his moving concluding chapters; there, he explores how communities can create a “topsoil of trust” to anchor their increasingly diverse and digital populations.

With his trademark vitality, wit, and optimism, Friedman shows that we can overcome the multiple stresses of an age of accelerations―if we slow down, if we dare to be late and use the time to reimagine work, politics, and community. Thank You for Being Late is Friedman’s most ambitious book―and an essential guide to the present and the future.

《世界是平的》一书作者新书,可以看做前者的续集。 主题思想是世界的变化越来越快,已经超过了人类的适应能力,人类也需要巨变来适应这个世界,需要更多的合作与宽容,共同面对难题,否则可能面临毁灭。 书中的事实与观点都没有太多新意。 全书篇幅很长,但是有很大的缩减...

我用了十七天的时间读完这本《谢谢你迟到》,书中讲到在过去的50年中,由于科技的超速发展,许多事情“复杂的简单了”,可是我们的适应能力却没有跟上,导致社会组织结构落后于变革发生的速度,我们显然不想“陷入混乱”,那么问题来了,既然物理技术的进步不会放慢脚步,摩尔...

讀不下去

如果把氣候變化的影響改成中國崛起因素,其他的新技術研發和技術擴散越來越快,全球化的工商金融聯係之類我是贊同的;美國也並沒真正“絕對的”衰落,隻不過相對而言中國等東亞國傢崛起擠占瞭一定實力份額。

隻能說很普通,都是彆人的東西。其實彆人的東西拿來能說好也行,可是安排上是雲裏霧裏,不知道想要闡述什麼。裏麵quote瞭無數人,這些人或多或少都寫過一些書,基本上都是沒有聽說過的,美國人真喜歡寫書。

评分

還在讀呢,就覺得作者一些論證很不嚴密啊,比如文化多樣性和經濟發展到底誰先誰後,植物的多樣性以利於生態自然進步但這與人類社會發展有什麼瓜係。四章觀點都寫的太散瞭,根本沒說明好論點…… 讀罷,sb書滾!
