- Synopsis
- When scholars write the history of the world twenty years from now and they come to the chapter "Y2K to March 2004", what will they say was the most critical development? The attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on 9/11 and the Iraq War? Or the convergence of technology and the events that allowed India and China and so many other countries to become part of the global supply chain for services and manufacturing. And with this flattening of the globe,which requires us to run faster in order to stay in place, has the world gotten too small and too fast for human beings and their political systems to adjust in a stable manner.
