Title- The World is Flat
Author- Thomas Friedman
publisher- Farrar, Straus and Giroux
category- Non Fiction
stars-****

Pete writes, " A very readable overview of what the internet has wrought.  The impact has been profound including the rise of the middle classes in India and China.  We are in a global economy, and jobs and opportunities are where you find them, all over the world.  There is a dark side, those societies not participating in the flow of ideas and products, providing an underlying explanation for some of the violent lashing-out we have witnessed.  It is a very nice perspective on the recent two decades."
