The World is Flat, and that's boring

The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century - Thomas L Friedman

This books could have been written in one magazine article, and it would have been readable in that case. In the form this rather laborious book, it gets monotonous and a bit irritating. But there are some nice anecdotes and details about stuff like how supply chains work, etc., which just about make sure it's not a total waste of time beyond the first few pages. Overall, I learned some new things, but it was far from entertaining, mainly because of the verbosity and repetition.
