"Thank You for Being Late" by Thomas Friedman explores the "age of accelerations," a period marked by unprecedented advancements in technology, globalization, and environmental change. The book examines the impact of Moore’s Law on technological development, particularly in the areas of computing, data storage, and software. It delves into the increasing interconnectedness of the global economy, emphasizing the role of digital flows in driving globalization. Friedman also discusses the challenges posed by climate change and the rise of disintegrating states, arguing that we must develop new social contracts and political frameworks to adapt to these accelerating trends. The book ultimately advocates for a more resilient and sustainable future, one that embraces pluralism, community building, and a renewed commitment to the common good.
