I'm not one for these in general, but it's a slick one with a good song and it's a reminder that today's globalization is radically different from the glo-colonialization of late 19th century, the big difference being the individually empowering connectivity--a truly American gift and characteristic that does great good and some bad.

The bit in Great Powers about my networked life and how I can't possibly tell my kids what their careers will be like sought to make a similar impression on the reader.
