The world is flat, but this book is not. It's Thomas Friedman's ginormous examination of globalization and the forces that drive it, starting with the end of the last century and continuing up to about 2:15 yesterday afternoon. The book traces the antecedents and consequences of global...

    The world is growing smaller each day. With all of the social networking tools, it is amazing how much of Friedman's book is coming true.

    OK, I guess, if you like these sorts of books........but I find books like this (about business and businesses) boring as all hell. This is only my opinion, mind you - I suppose if you like these kinds of books it might be utterly fascinating. But if you don't like these kinds of books then don't even pick this up. It'll put you to sleep in five minutes.
