Maybe this global culture is short lived: Recession and tightening borders are taking their toll on the high-flying/trend-setting and the fruit picking classes alike. And even as he contrasts the past and present modes of living (for many, it has indeed become communing in a techno bubble), Iyer himself talks the "urban-suave" with lots of highbrow allusions. I am his generation, but from interior India, and mine seems truly Arcadian by comparison. An enthusiastic talk though!
Thanks.

I am in admiration of Pico's gift for perspective. He is able to step away and expose the starkness of injustice, and also able to stand still and marvel at the most magnificently minute mysteries.
Listening to Pico Iyer confirms my intuition that *travel writers should lead the world.*
What better ambassadors of the human spirit than globe-trotting artists?
