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.
