We are in a flat world, in fact a very flat book world. Best selling books these days are becoming much easier available around the globe. Consumers can read books online, visit book stores online or simply download free online books from various sources on the web. For those to lazy to read they do the same with audio books or listen to those just for convenience reasons when driving the car. In the age of globalization the book bestsellers are available around the globe and everyone can sell to everyone without the hurdles of traditional gate keepers and distribution cost and hassles. What people read globally is what helps them build their opinions. So if certain best sellers online or offline, on Kindle or any other ebook, become the market leaders in their respective fields, they have a major impact on where the world is heading. The impact might be politically, environmentally, spiritually and so on. Google may give you many answers on what people are searching for, but not on where the world is heading. The inspiration fortunately still comes from the six, soon billion minds on this planet. Even though not all are connected to the Internet yet and one of the biggest and most important challenges is hooking up everyone everywhere. This is when the world is really flat to refer once more to Thomas Friedman, the New York Times Bestseller author and columnist. “The World is Flat” and “Hot, Flat and Crowded” demonstrate many aspects very nicely. Another best selling book is Ralf Hirt’s “8W8 – Global Space Tribes” that made it in the globalization charts earlier this year. It has a strong Internet affiliation but also visualizes tribal structures as a key characteristic of the world moving forward. Seth Godin “Tribes”, released in October 2008, is heading in this direction also. There will be room for many more books on these subjects and many more people will need to understand what the world really looks like, and it might look differently depending on your point of view, your country, your religion, your job or business.
