Beyond Future Shock
Alvin and Heidi Toffler offer an alternative viewpoint on issues ranging from the U.S.-led war against terrorism to Wall Street and Western financial media. Beyond Future Shock dissects the ways social, economic, technological and political forces will change our lives and our world. Decades before they became headlines, the Tofflers wrote about fractured families, PCs, corporate restructuring and precision-targeted weapon systems. Their commentary continues to provide insights into what lies ahead in the 21st century. The Tofflers are the authors of several books, including "The Third Wave," "Powershift: Knowledge, Wealth and Power at the Edge of the 21st Century" and "Creating a New Civilization." Also available in Spanish.
