This book (#futureshock) came out 55 years ago and is based on an article that came out in the summer of 1965, 60 years ago. Toffler's known for coining the phrase “INFORMATION OVERLOAD.“ Hence this haiku.
Information floods––
overloads us 'til we're shocked
into submission.

dabbe @julieclair Wow. Thank you!!! 😍 I google-imaged the words “future shock“, and this was a picture that popped up. Very fitting, isn't it? 🖤🐝🖤 3mo
CBee Super cool haiku and picture 😊 (edited) 3mo
julieclair @dabbe So fitting. Did you teach this book? 3mo
JenlovesJT47 It does look like a dystopian novel. Reminds me of 1984 for some reason. Would make a great first sentence for your novel! 🖤🤍🩶🤍🖤 3mo
dabbe @julieclair Nope. I read it in high school for AP English; plus, I saw the movie narrated by Orson Welles. I came across an article yesterday referring to it, and hence this haiku! 😍 3mo
dabbe @JenlovesJT47 Now you'll know how old I am. I read that novel in English 101 in the year 1984. Because, well, y'know. 😂 And I wish I were that good! 3mo
JenlovesJT47 I was born in 1984 😳 3mo
dabbe @JenlovesJT47 Well, that's an eye-opener, isn't it? 😳😂🤣 3mo
kelli7990 I‘ve never read this book. 3mo
dabbe @kelli7990 It's an oldie, but a goodie. 3mo
julieclair I didn‘t know there was a movie! 3mo
dabbe @julieclair It's a 1972 documentary narrated by Orson Welles! Here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkUwXenBokU 3mo
