"This is a book which cries out to be an essay! One can visualize the author reading one of Malcolm Gladwell's books and thinking, "Hey, I could do that!". No, he evidently can't.
Ramo's notion is that the old ways of thinking are no longer good enough, that we must be more "resilient" ("adaptable" in Darwinian terms)."
"Ramo argues that the world is now too complex for the old approaches to statecraft to apply -- that in fact the traditional approaches are now dangerous and likely to blow up in our faces.
He's got some good data and interviews to back him up, and you have to give some respect to a man who has sat down with both Israeli intelligence chiefs and Hizb'allah leaders. But he also gets a little too entranced with the possibilities of the brave new world. I'm not sure how much he can count on the current generation to go out and consciously create the managed chaos he'd like to see. Then again, I look at the networked generation coming up behind me and think that maybe that's the way they work already."
"The best non-fiction book I've read this year. Excellent reporting that often reads like a novel - and will alternately scare the heck out of you and get your brain going on things like what it means to your business, your family and the future of the world. Worth the effort it takes to read something a little headier."
