Thomas L. Friedman accurately predicted the future almost 10 years ago. This book outlines the most important forces that shaped the world as we know it today. And reading it nowadays makes you appreciate all the little things we take for granted. We have come a long way since 10 years and now live in a very competitive and challenging world that doesn't wait for you if you're not running at a full sprint. One of my favorite parts of the book is when the author explains why certain countries still live in the past when they have so many resources and huge potential. He makes a clear distinction between dreams and memories and how one builds nations while the other destroys them.
The reason I'm giving this book 4 stars is because I felt that some parts where a little longer than they should be and that made it less entertaining to read. But overall, this is a book I definitely recommend to anyone that wants to understand how we have become so interconnected and dependent on each other.
