MixedThe Washington Post...a sprawling book of astonishing topical breadth and apparent conceptual simplicity. Readers will encounter all sorts of interesting content along the way but they may read the overall picture as less coherent and encouraging than Friedman wishes ... The bigger problem, even for sympathetic readers of this humane and empathetic book, is that Thank You for Being Late provides no clear way of unifying its subject ... When Friedman’s story veers from technophilia and retreats from its commitment to labeling every trend an acceleration of an acceleration, it becomes more compelling — but also more discordant.
