Summary:

A prominent Saudi Arabian intellectual and petroleum industry leader demonstrates how the West has used its control over communication technologies to superimpose its values and political institutions on the rest of the world. Nazer warns that this practice will promote rage and the loss of indigenous cultures in non-Western nations if left unchecked. This provocative analysis is a wake-up call for both Western and non-Western leaders.
