from Picador
Price: $10.08
Customer Review:
A transparent attempt to justify the new colonialism. In the 16th century it was the great nations of Europe, in the 21st it is the multinational corporation. It is still exploitation of the haves by the have-nots, just a lot of new lipstick on the same old pig! | 4.0 / 5.0

Ray Kurzweil has written a great book, but the title is very misleading.
