In truth, I hadn't given much thought to flat world concepts and navigational practices prior to reading the book and that is why I say informative and pertinent. While I'm typically not an early adopter of technology, the book gave me new and improved ways of thinking about the digital economy; I resonated in particular with what was said about the critical importance of attention and collaboration. Flat World included interviews with an extraordinarily diverse and distinguished group of people, capturing an immense amount of wisdom. Additionally, Kim articulated her findings with ease and lucidity.
