Thomas Friedman's "Thank you for being late" is a massive treatise on the idea that things aren't just changing fast, but that the rate of change is accelerating.
For a while after reading this, I believed that maybe we were in a bit of a slump and the rate of change wouldn't continue to accelerate. Now, with the societal / technological change brought by covid, the recent wave of building and excitement around Crypto (NFTs, DeFi, Web3), the continued jumps in AI, and a possible shift from phones to AR/MR glasses in the next few years, etc it's hard not to feel that the acceleration is continuing.
