📘 Thank You for Being Late by Thomas L. Friedman

In *Thank You for Being Late*, Thomas L. Friedman examines the three dominant forces reshaping our world: the relentless pace of technological progress described by Moore’s law, the globalized market, and the environmental pressures of climate change and biodiversity loss. These accelerating trends are transforming key arenas—work, politics, geopolitics, ethics, and community—into a new, fast‑moving reality. Friedman invites readers to deliberately ‘be late,’ a call to pause and reflect on the historical epoch we are witnessing, weighing its opportunities and risks.
