| Description: | Wired Magazine's interview with Thomas Friedman. "Friedman enlisted some impressive editorial assistance. Bill Gates spent a day with him to critique the theory. Friedman presented sections of the book to the strategic planning unit at IBM and to Michael Dell. But his most important tutors were two Indians: Nandan Nilekani, CEO of Infosys, and Vivek Paul, a top executive at Wipro. "They were the guys who really cracked the code for me." Wired sat down with Friedman in his office at the Times' Washington bureau to discuss the flattening of the world. " |
