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.

当我们在途中漫步时,我们都会在路途上遇到那么一两个或者人或者物的“导师”。 世界在发生着翻天覆地的变化,谁会停下脚步来发现、观察、描述着它。托马斯·弗里德曼教授的《谢谢你迟到》,书中托马斯·弗里德曼教授说“在这个加速变化的时代,重要的不是每天匆匆忙忙,而是要...

A cliché-ridden recount of old news.

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!

评分

3.5星。全書圍繞信息化、全球化、氣候變化、相互依賴式新型地緣政治和如何適應加速時代這幾大主體緊密展開。調研走訪非常紮實,開頭因此很吸引人,能領略到很多前沿工作者的態度眼光,細微之處不乏精妙。但讀到後麵不由覺得這就是個他人話語的調查報告。作者自己的一些觀點如果不能說不夠個人,那就隻能說不夠新穎。尤其後麵提到要學習Mother Nature治理國傢,淺顯娛樂化凸顯。作者麵對整個技術趨勢的勇氣和乘風破浪的決心於我最impressive. Adaptability without humiliation.美國不被撼動的技術精英其實在說roll with all the changes. 這是普羅大眾做不到的。作者的樂觀主義還是天真可能是美國改變先鋒願意接受的現實主義。

大名鼎鼎的專欄作傢寫齣這樣的書真是對不起讀者/聽眾。文不對題,詞不達意。方方麵麵都要提到,但是又都是淺嘗輒止。科技部分顯然是道聽途說幾個新鮮詞,super nova/cloud聽得我要吐。全書唯一可以看的是有關他高中同學的八卦。聽的有聲書,1.6倍語速,權當練習聽力瞭。

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。
