Overview
āExplosive . . . brilliantly formulated.ā āThe Wall Street JournalĀ
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.Ā
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, organizationsāeven our patterns of friendship and love.Ā
But Future Shock also illuminates the world of tomorrow by exploding countless clichĆ©s about today. It vividly describes the emerging global civilization: the rise of new businesses, subcultures, lifestyles, and human relationshipsāall of them temporary.Ā
Future Shock will intrigue, provoke, frighten, encourage, and, above all, change everyone who reads it.
