Thank You for Being Late: An Optimist's Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations by Thomas L. Friedman, Edition 2016
We all sense it - our lives are speeding up at a dizzying rate. Thank You for Being Late exposes the tectonic movements that are reshaping the world today and explains how to get the most out of them. Friedman's thesis is that the planet's three largest forces - Moore's law (technology), the market(globalization) and Mother Nature (climate change and biodiversity loss) - are all accelerating at once. An extraordinary release of energy is reshaping every thing from how we hail a taxi to the fate of nations to our most intimate relationships.Thank You for Being Late is a work of contemporary history that serves as afield manual for how to think about this era of accelerations and how we can anchor ourselves in the eye of this storm. It's also an argument for 'being late' -for pausing to appreciate this amazing historical epoch we're passing through and reflecting on its possibilities and dangers. Written with his trade mark vitality, wit and optimism and with unequaled access to many of those at the fore front of the changes he is describing all over the world, Thank You for Being Late is Friedman's most ambitious book - and an essential guide to the present and the future.
