Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a "future shock" book explained with such clarity that no one can leave the book without some awareness of their own experience with change. I heard the author speak at a lecture two days ago. If you get a chance to hear him in person, I urge you to do so. The book begins with the turn of the 20th century and a small town in Kansas with four department stores and an opera house. It describes the trends that caused this very small town to have these amenities. It then goes to the turn of this century and shows parallel rapid changes in our own society and the impacts these are having on our work and personal lives. I found the most interesting parallel was the comparison of the death of the horse and buggy in favor of cars to the death of cars in favor of TRAINS! (And not for the reason you think!!) This is an easy to read and understand book. It is a book you will not be able to put down. Short chapters allow you to read in spurts. Pictures and quotes add to the interesting tale of the turns of centuries.
