Our Review |
Opinion of the webmaster, subject to debate |
It all sounded very ominous in the 1970s: Change is happening
too damn fast.
We are all suffering from Future Shock.
It was an attractive buzzword, especially when intoned by
Orson Wells in a documentary of the same name,
but what did it mean?
Almost three decades later, we all seem to have survived.
Whatever future shock is, it doesn't feel too unpleasant.

From the Book Cover
Future Shock is about the present.
Future Shock 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.
Future Shock vividly describes the emerging super-industrial
world - tomorrow's family life, the rise of new businesses, subcultures,
life-styles and human relationships -- all of them temporary.
Future Shock illuminates the world of tomorrow by exploding countless
clichés about today.
Future Shock will intrigue, provoke, frighten, encourage and, above
all, change everyone who reads it.
