The Third Wave

De: Alvin Toffler

Narrado por: Peter Berkrot

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.

Insightful

Insightfully explains current trends that have shaped me and my generation. The socioeconomic template has changed.

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.

A good follow up to Future Shock

This would’ve been so much more significant to have read back in the late 70s rather than in 2025. It’s fun to hear the hits and misses that Mr Toffler espoused in this book. He’s pretty prescient on lots of ideas to be sure. The next question is: how long does the Third Wave last? What’s leftover after humans surpass its current condition of being?

Banality or super human ethereal consciousness?
