Future Shock

Future Shock (1970) examines the psychological and societal effects of rapid technological and cultural change, arguing that the accelerating pace of progress overwhelms people’s ability to adapt. It explores how constant upheaval disrupts personal stability, weakens traditional social structures, and leads to widespread feelings of anxiety and disorientation. Most importantly, it also offers practical strategies for coping with this overwhelming sense of change – emphasizing the need for adaptability and resilience in an unpredictable world.
