FUTURE SHOCK - ALVIN TOFFLER TASCHENBUCH

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The classic work that predicted the anxieties of a world upended by
rapidly emerging technologies-and now provides a road map to solving many of our most pressing
crises.   "Explosive . . . brilliantly formulated." -The Wall Street Journal   Future Shock is
the classic that changed our view of tomorrow. Its startling insights into accelerating change
led a president to ask his advisers for a special report  inspired composers to write
symphonies and rock music  gave a powerful new concept to social science  and added a phrase to
our language. Published in over fifty countries  Future Shock is the most important study of
change and adaptation in our time.   In many ways  Future Shock is about the present. It is
about what is happening today to people and groups who are overwhelmed by change. Change
affects our products  communities  organizations-even our patterns of friendship and love.  
But Future Shock also illuminates the world of tomorrow by exploding countless clichés about
today. It vividly describes the emerging global civilization: the rise of new businesses 
subcultures  lifestyles  and human relationships-all of them temporary.   Future Shock will
intrigue  provoke  frighten  encourage  and  above all  change everyone who reads it.
