Summary
The digital age we live in is as transformative as the Industrial Revolution, and Joshua Cooper Ramo explains how to survive.
If you find yourself longing for a disconnected world where information is not always at your fingertips, you may eventually be as useful as the carriage maker post-Henry Ford. It's practically impossible to know where the marriage of imagination and technology will take us (sorry, Betamax and Kodak), and the only certainty is that in the networked world we will only become more intertwined. Is it possible not to become hopelessly tangled?
Joshua Cooper Ramo, a policy expert who has advised the most powerful nations and corporations, says yes - if you are ready to ride the disruption. Drawing on examples from business, science, and politics, Ramo illuminates our transformative world. Start by imagining a near future when America's greatest power is not its military or its economy but its control of the Internet.

Definitely worth a listen
There's a profound level of thought etched into the core of this books message.
I appreciated the core of the lessons and insights though found I needed a fair amount of concentration to pick out key points. The author tos and throws from politics to history to personal experiences to forward thinking concepts at some speed... I think I need to build an AI to help me keep up with the pace of his train of thought. ;)
Thought provoking... but felt that it needed summarising at the end to help solidify ideas and recommended action.

Ingenious
Trilled by the opening and read the entire piece at a go.
Looking forward to reading more from the Author.

Futurology? Thought provoking.
It would be interesting to reread this in 5 and 20 years time.
There is a lot of ground covered and I suspect that most people would need to read it twice.

Absolutely brilliant
While reading Nature, watching Ted or browsing HBR, it's incredible to see so many modern intellectuals from distinct backgrounds and paths in life agree on a few very concrete ideas. This book explains the whats and hows of much of the most cutting edge, recent understanding of where we stand, right now, as humanity.
