"The Third Wave offers 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 the 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." [jacket blurb, US pbk, 1981]

"The main thrust of this book is that civilization is currently undergoing another major revolution, like the agricultural and industrial ones before it. Despite current doubts about the electronic democracy Toffler proposed, the central idea that modern technology is redefining society holds true." --Henry W.Targowski (in Mark/Space , 1995).
