"What we are seeing today is not simply an economic upheaval, but something far deeper, something that cannot be understood within the framework of conventional economics. This is why increasingly mystified economists complain that 'the old rules don't work any longer'. What we are seeing is the general crisis of industrialism -- a crisis that transcends the differences between capitalism and Soviet-style communism, a crisis that is simultaneously tearing up our energy base, our value systems, our sense of space and time, our epistemology as well as our economy. What is happening, no more, no less, is the breakdown of industrial civilization on the planet and the first fragmentary appearance of a wholly new and drastically different social order: a super-industrial civilization that will be technological, but no longer industrial". --Alvin Toffler (in The Eco-Spasm Report , 1975).

"Toffler saw it happening." --Henry W.Targowski (in Mark/Space , 1995).
