The beginning of the twenty-first century will be remembered, Friedman argues, not for military conflicts or political events, but for a whole new age of globalization ndash; a flattening' of the world. The explosion of advanced technologies now means that suddenly knowledge pools and resources have connected all over the planet, levelling the playing field as never before, so that each of us is potentially an equal ndash; and competitor ndash; of the other. The rules of the game have changed forever ndash; but does this death of distance', which requires us all to run faster in order to stay in the same place, mean the world has got too small and too flat too fast for us to adjust? Friedman brilliantly demystifies the exciting, often bewildering, global scene unfolding before our eyes, one which we sense but barely yet understand. The World is Flat is the most timely and essential update on globalization, its successes and its discontents, powerfully illuminated by a world-class writer. In his new chapters: 'If It's Not Happening, It's Because You're Not Doing It' and 'What Happens When We All Have Dog's Hearing?' the author explores both the benefits and disadvantages of the very latest developments in global communication. The emergent popularity of blogging, pod-casting, YouTube and MySpace enable the modern world citizen to broadcast their views to a potential audience of billions, and the proliferation of Internet access to even the poorest communities gives everyone who wants to the tools to address issues of social injustice and inequality. On the other hand the technology that seems to improve communication on a global scale causes it to deteriorate on a local scale. Identifying ours as 'The Age of Interruption', Friedman discusses the annoyance and dangers of BlackBerrys in meeting rooms, hands-free kits in conversation and using a phone or iPod whilst driving. In an age when we are always 'connected' via email or mobile phone how can we hope to concentrate on one thing without interruption? As expected the author has revitalised this new edition of The World Is Flat with timely insights into the nature of our flat world.

評分讀reading裏提到Friedman於是想到這本書。常讀常新。典型的NYTimes語調是挺疼的。。內容很不錯。
評分兩個多月斷斷續續讀完瞭這本大名鼎鼎的The World Is Flat,這些年Globalization讓我這樣來自小城市的平民都有深刻感觸。雖然書內容很多看起來都是淺顯明白,不過文章行雲流水,是學習英語比較適閤入門的原版書
評分我是來學英語的
不管怎么说,《世界是平的》至少是个成功的出版业营销个案。已经有无数围绕着它的书评和报道,很多人都知道了作者的主要观点:在这个坏消息接连不断的世界上,全球化将给所有愿意跟上这一潮流的人带来机会。这个面向未来的蓝图的确振奋人心,不过,关于全球化的书早已汗牛充栋...
