Publisher's summary

From the author of Future Shock comes a striking way out of today's despair...a bracing, optimistic look at our new potentials.

The Third Wave makes startling sense of the violent changes now battering our world. Its sweeping synthesis casts fresh light on our new forms of marriage and family, on today's dramatic changes in business and economics. It explains the role of cults, the new definitions of work, play, love, and success. It points toward new forms of 21st-century democracy.

An extremely insightful, eye opening view of societal change

Alvin Toffler is a genius who is able to put words to and describe so much of the seemingly chaotic change of our era. He describes where we came from as a civilization and what is going on at this time. Despite being decades old, the book continues to describe current political impasse and breakdown in a very diagnostic way.
