From the Pulitzer Prize winner and No.1 international bestselling
author of The World is Flat, an essential and entertaining field
guide to thriving in the twenty-first century. We all sense it -
something big is going on. You feel it in your workplace. You feel
it when you talk to your children. You can't miss it when you read
the newspapers or watch the news. Our lives are speeding up - and
it is dizzying. In Thank You for Being Late, a work unlike any he
has attempted before, Thomas L. Friedman exposes the tectonic
movements that are reshaping the world today and explains how to
get the most out of them. Friedman's thesis is that to understand
the twenty-first century, you need to understand that the planet's
three largest forces - Moore's law (technology), the market
(globalization) and Mother Nature (climate change and biodiversity
loss) - are all accelerating at once, transforming the workplace,
politics, geopolitics, ethics and community. An extraordinary
release of energy is reshaping everything from how we hail a taxi
to the fate of nations to our most intimate relationships. It is
creating vast new opportunities for individuals and small groups to
save the world - or perhaps to destroy it. Thank You for Being Late
is a work of contemporary history that serves as a field manual for
how to think about this era of accelerations. It's also an argument
for 'being late' - for pausing to appreciate this amazing
historical epoch we're passing through and reflecting on its
possibilities and dangers. He shows us how we can anchor ourselves
as individuals in the eye of this storm, and how communities can
create a 'topsoil of trust' to do the same for their increasingly
diverse and digital populations. Written with his trademark
vitality, wit, and optimism, and with unequalled access to many of
those at the forefront of the changes he is describing all over the
world, Thank You for Being Late is Friedman's most ambitious book -
and an essential guide to the present and the future.

V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
