This book is an extremely interesting read, and is the prequel to Freidman's book "Hot, Flat and Crowded", which I have also read. The book is about the world's globalization and interconnectivity. Unity through technology, thus rendering the world 'Flat'. Freidman explains that the world has changed so radically, that now we are able to communicate with another person halfway across the world sending a message in the blink of an eye to how we outsource our technical support to countries such as India. India is the main focus of this book, which was a pleasant surprise to me, as this is more relevant to me. Friendman interviews the CEOs of companies such as Infosys and Reliance (Naryan Murty who is the CEO of Infosys is also the second richest man in the world, following Warren Buffet). Freidman also travels to China ad the Middle-east, where he explores their brilliant endeavors to 'flatten' today's world!
A brilliant read, slightly outdated, but still brilliant!
