"One mark of a great book is that it makes you see things in a new way," the Nobel laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz wrote in The New York Times, reviewing The World Is Flat in 2005. In the time since the book was published-it has spent more than two years on the New York Times bestseller list-the effect Thomas L. Friedman calls "the flattening of the world" has made itself felt in countless aspects of our everyday lives. For Release 3.0, Friedman has written two new chapters about "You and the Flat World."
