Fast Company's readers' network takes a page from the book of historian Stephen E. Ambrose and draws parallels between the transcontinental railroad and the Internet. Everyone knew that. So begins Stephen Ambrose's historical tale of the transcontinental railroad, Nothing Like It in the World. It's true that cross-country rail travel revolutionized commerce and communication in the United States, but that happened more than a century ago. That group is the Company of Friends, Fast Company's readers' network, whose members are based in 157 cities in 34 countries.
