I read the book. He says left-brained thinking, the West's strength, is doomed because of 3 'A's; Automation, Asia, and Abundance. One irony is, that Asians (all right, Chinese) are supposed to be more holistic (to my mind, right-brained) in their perception anyway (remember the 'picture of the tiger' story? Picture of a tiger in a jungle, Westerners say it's a tiger, Chinese describe more of the environment). So, at least by this possibly shallow interpretation, the West is already beaten both ways.

Completely forgetting the "making of things" and living absolutely in ideas land is a dumb idea that I hope doesn't gain any more traction in this environment. I estimate that the author hasn't had to work with software architects that don't touch code any more.
