Introducing Thank You for Being Late

THREE-TIME PULITZER WINNER AND NEW YORK TIMES foreign affairs columnist Thomas L. Friedman expresses a sense of urgency in the need to understand the interacting forces of technology, global markets and climate change that make a complicated and threatening world we live in. These forces have resulted to accelerated changes, with a dizzying effect, and we need to know how to cope. In Thank You For Being Late: An Optimist’s Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations, the author explains how such forces are causing so much disruption and dislocation. We see loss of jobs and the ensuing anger and discontent among those affected even as wealth is created in other parts of the globe. The internet and global economies create opportunities but make international terrorism possible. These and many more are happening at the same time and even more rapidly than before.

Friedman emphasizes the need for knowledge and understanding. He said democracy can only work if voters are aware and informed. They can only make intelligent decisions on policy, for example, if they have an understanding of the real issues. The book aims to make readers aware of the complexities involved in the fast-changing developments in the 21st century because their lives are affected in many ways: their jobs are threatened, their environments become unlivable, species go extinct while carbon levels increase, governments are even more ineffective.
