Shownotes

Future Shock, the dizzying disorientation brought on by the premature arrival of the future. 

Alvin Toffler’s 1965 article “Future As A Way of Life “  breaks down what rapid changes in culture look like and what sort of impact this has on human beings and society. In his writing, Toffler argues that we need to build the habit and skill sets required to predict what may lie ahead. An unwillingness or inability to do this will essentially lead to people walking around - blindly - asleep to what is coming and therefore susceptible to the phenomenon of future shock. 

We explore how to frame this phenomenon and how it could impact our environment, personal relationships and the economy.
