Thomas L. Freidman is a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and New York Times columnist. His book "Thank You for Being Late" discusses how accelerating forces like technology, globalization, and climate change are transforming our world. He argues we are experiencing a "supernova" due to exponential increases in computing power since 2007. This is reshaping work, politics, ethics, and communities. Friedman provides examples and argues that while change is difficult, humans can adapt if we slow down to understand and address the possibilities and dangers of our current historical period.
