As you read this book, you can imagine it being Michael Wood's speaking script for his TV program. As well as the stories you would expect about Cortes & Pizarro, I was pleasantly surprised to read of 2 explorers I'd never heard of - Orellana & de Vaca - which made this different to many other books of the same theme.

This is a wild collection of Tom Peters thoughts culled from his portfolio of Powerpoint slides. I particularly liked the Chapter on Education - both the current workforce & the future workforce. For all the boasting he made about his new partnership with Dorling Kindersley, I found the book too heavy, and the key "Contrast" Summary tables at the end of each Chapter were printed White feint on a bright Red background - very hard to read - DK should know better.

Easy to read review of what digital technology is going to promise us in the future - both good & bad. It's not intended to scare, nor to defend the undefendable, but it gives a good all round review in an easy entertaining style.
