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.
Thomas L. Friedman is a three-time recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for his work with The New York Times and the author of six bestselling books, including The World Is Flat.
只能说很普通,都是别人的东西。其实别人的东西拿来能说好也行,可是安排上是云里雾里,不知道想要阐述什么。里面quote了无数人,这些人或多或少都写过一些书,基本上都是没有听说过的,美国人真喜欢写书。
评分每月啃一本书的计划木有完成☹️ 只能拿这个来凑数了/毫无新意啊倒眉毛大叔
评分大名鼎鼎的专栏作家写出这样的书真是对不起读者/听众。文不对题,词不达意。方方面面都要提到,但是又都是浅尝辄止。科技部分显然是道听途说几个新鲜词,super nova/cloud听得我要吐。全书唯一可以看的是有关他高中同学的八卦。听的有声书,1.6倍语速,权当练习听力了。
评分the world is accelerating.

评分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...
