. . "Future Shock is a book written by the futurist Alvin Toffler in 1970. In the book, Toffler defines the term \"future shock\" as a certain psychological state of individuals and entire societies. His shortest definition for the term is a personal perception of \"too much change in too short a period of time\". The book, which became an international bestseller, grew out of an article \"The Future as a Way of Life\" in Horizon magazine, Summer 1965 issue."@en . . . "Future Shock"@en .
