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 cliches 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.

Reviews for Future Shock

Revealing, exciting, encouraging, brilliant. --The Christian Science Monitor In the risky business of social and cultural criticism, there appears an occasional book that manages . . . to shape our perceptions of its times. Alvin Toffler's immensely readable yet disquieting study may service the same purpose for our own increasingly volatile world. --Newsweek Alvin Toffler has sent something of a shock-wave through Western society. --Daily Express (London) To the elite . . . who often get committed to age-old institutions or material goals alone, let Toffler's Future Shock be a lesson and a warning. --The Time of India
