THANK YOU FOR BEING LATE

Acclaimed New York Times op-ed columnist Thomas L. Friedman's 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. 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. Infused with his trademark vitality, wit, and optimism, it is Friedman's most ambitious book.
