A. K. Srivastava. Long Description of the Plot: Global Transformation and the Third World, written by Dr. A. K. Srivastava, is a thought-provoking book that delves into the intricacies of technology evolution and its impact on human society, particularly in the context of the third world. The author presents a compelling argument that understanding the process of technological advancements is crucial for the survival of humanity and the unity of nations. The book begins by highlighting the significance of technology in shaping the modern world and how it has transformed the way we live, work, and communicate. The author emphasizes the importance of recognizing the interconnectedness of technology and human progress, arguing that technology is not just a tool but a driving force behind social, economic, and political changes. This interconnectedness is further reinforced by the concept of the "global village," where technology has shrunk the distance between people and cultures, creating a global community. Dr. Srivastava then delves into the challenges faced by the third world in embracing technology and the consequences of their exclusion from the global technological landscape. He argues that the digital divide between the developed and developing worlds is not only an economic issue but also a matter of survival, as it hinders the ability of the third world to adapt to the rapidly changing technological landscape.
