“Good book...”
“You should see the lecture that Friedman gave on his book at MIT earlier this year. It is very good.”
“The book starts with the following entry from the journal of Christopher Columbus on his voyage of 1492:“Your Highnesses, as Catholic Christians, and princes who love and promote the holy Christian faith, and are enemies of the doctrine of Mahomet, and of all idolatry and heresy, determined to send me, Christopher Columbus, to the above mentioned countries of India, to see the said princes, people, and territories, and to learn their disposition and the proper method of converting them to our holy faith; and furthermore directed that I should not proceed by land to the East, as is customary, but by a Westerly route, in which direction we have hitherto no certain evidence that anyone has gone.”The following facts emerge from the aforesaid- Christians love to promote the Christian faith; Christians are enemies of the Islam; Christians think Indians are idiots and stupid; Christopher Columbus came to India to convert Indians to Christian faith; Christopher Columbus was told to adopt a way to reach India that was different… What was true in 1492 is true in 2006-7…2020; a new method has to be found to reach Indians in the ‘Third Wave’ of e-age and globalization and when ‘The World is Flat’ and to… A must read for all those who think that they think… Chaak de India…”
“It throws surprises happening around you.”
“Great book ever”
“I think it is one of the more informative books I have read in recent time. It gives you a global perspective and ideas to make technology work for you, irrespective of the business you might be in. It could work as an eye-opener for people who are not very experimental with newer technologies.”
“I'd forgotten the pleasure reading good prose brings. Friedman not only writes well, but does so on an important subject- globalization.”
