Summary: Suggests that there are sound reasons why English speaking nations have lead "the scientific-technical revolution uninterruptedly from the start" and will continue to do so in the future. The book seeks to explain why this should have come about looking for example at England's long history of independence, literacy, and civil rights. Draws on the mathematical concept of "Singularity" and posits the idea of an Anglosphere Network Commonwealth. The constituents of the Anglosphere are said to be the English speaking Common Law-based nations together with those parts of the world, such as Scandinavia, that share similar characteristics. The afterword of this revised edition argues that India should also be included in the group of likely newcomer participants.
