When scholars write the history of the world twenty years from now, what will they say was the most crucial development in the first few years of the twenty-first century? The attacks on the World Trade Center on 9/11 and the Iraq war? Or the convergence of technology and events that allowed India, China, and so many other countries to become part of the global supply chain for services and manufacturing, creating an explosion of wealth in the middle classes of the world’s two biggest nations? And with this “flattening” of the globe, has the world gotten too small and too fast for human beings and their political systems to adjust in a stable manner?

What Customers Say About The World Is Flat 3.0: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century:

For those who are really trying to get a grasp on just exactly what this thing called the "Internet" is, how it works and it's impact on the present and the future, this IS the book. Of course it explores market trends, social changes, employment and carreer shifts, international relationships and other relavent topics with equal understanding, research and depth. Beyond that, it deserves a place on the list of required reading for students preparing for entry into the workplace of the twenty-first century. As an early Web developer, designer, HTML programmer and user of the Internet, I found Mr Friedman's extensive understanding and research in that area to be accurate and impressive. A good deal of this book then, for me, was simply an endorsement of my vision of the global impact of the World Wide Web.

Overall it's a great read if you remember to keep an open mind and look at the bigger picture that Freeman doesn't paint. Great points but Freeman does not disclose all information - he sugar coats the circumstances of third world countries and is very one-sided with his analogies. Arrived in excellent condition. Book was purchased as a supplement to a techie university class; it was good but not great.

From outsourcing to Gates&Windows to fall fo Berlin wall. It's a surface read without any too much dept content. i stopped to read this book. the results is a chaotic rumbling about everyting and consequently about nothing. However some might firnd inspiring ideas in int (tips from business and other peopel). it's not well written. the author makes a big ambition: to summarize everything what happend in 20-21st century.

I had to read it for class but I found myself being drawn into the pages, wanting to read more. Great book.

Sometimes. It's just the matter of personal experience and perspective.Do his viewpoints seem idealistic and disconnected from reality. Pros:- A lot of interesting facts and interviews/quotes- Material is well-organized- Not too dry for such a heavy subject, some relevant humor- Not without author's personal opinions, but overall rather objectiveCons:- Kind of watery and repetitive at timesPlease don't judge books by how an author's opinions contradict yours. I disagree with Thomas Friedman on some subjects depicted in this book, but that doesn't mean that it is poorly written or researched.
