On an enjoyment level, this book is akin to eating a stale, dry oatmeal cookie without any milk. However, I feel it is an important book that makes a valiant effort at understanding today's trade, business, technology and politics, and how they fit in with one another and how the paradigm of the world has shifted in front of our very own eyes.
That sentence hardly does the book justice. I am, admittedly, an intellectual lightweight, which is why it took me about 4 months to read this book. It felt like homework, but there were some things in there that I was, in fact, able to wrap my brain around that have allowed me the opprtunity to look at many relevant things in today's world from a new perspective.
I typically enjoy lighter fare; 20th century American fiction, historical biographies and books about sports and things. But I'm glad I made it through this book, and recommend it to anybody looking for some fresh insight in today's world.
