Negative Positive
Title: Late awakening, but not too late...
Review: The book is very well written and encompasses the happenings in the last 2 decades that have shrunk the world. Friedman has tried to give a name to this shrinking, he calls it flattening-fair enough.Friedman also talks about the top-10 "Flatteners". The list is pervasive of what happened and created the flat world. Though it should not be considered and compared with books on technology trends such as Megatrends (John Naisbitt) or even Road Ahead (Bill Gates). What Friedman has tried to achieve is to bring home the idea of "flattening" to the average American, who needs this more than anybody else.Friedman uses his immense experience travelling the globe to explain the social and economic changes that this "flattening" has brought about.In all, well researched book, the writing style is very gripping and filled with quotes from experts in the world, most of them the IT diaspora who felt the change first.
