What They're Saying
Critics Review
“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
