Future Shock | Alvin Toffler

#haikuhive
#haikuaday

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.

julieclair @dabbe So fitting. Did you teach this book? 1w

JenlovesJT47 It does look like a dystopian novel. Reminds me of 1984 for some reason. Would make a great first sentence for your novel! 🖤🤍🩶🤍🖤 1w

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! 😍 6d

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! 6d

JenlovesJT47 I was born in 1984 😳 6d

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 Well, that's an eye-opener, isn't it? 😳😂🤣 6d

kelli7990 I‘ve never read this book. 6d

dabbe @kelli7990 It's an oldie, but a goodie. 6d

julieclair I didn‘t know there was a movie! 5d

dabbe @julieclair It's a 1972 documentary narrated by Orson Welles! Here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkUwXenBokU 4d

julieclair Oohhh… it‘s a documentary! Love! I‘m thinking I should read the book first?? Stacked. 4d

The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure | Jonathan Haidt, Greg Lukianoff

“I don‘t want you to be safe ideologically. I don‘t want you to be safe emotionally. I want you to be strong. That‘s different. I‘m not going to pave the jungle for you. Put on some boots, and learn how to deal with adversity. I‘m not going to take all the weights out of the gym; that‘s the whole point of the gym. This is the gym.” - Van Jones

Generations: The Real Differences Between Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers, and Silents--And What They Mean for America's Future | Jean M Twenge

pick

Overall, I found this book to be moderate, data-driven, and interesting, with a couple of caveats. First, Twenge sometimes doesn't flag clearly what is data and what is her opinion. This is fine, it just means I have to pay closer attention. Next, I found the GenX section disappointing. She ignores outliers and nuances she points out in the Millennials section, and she reaches different conclusions from some data than I do. (cont'd ⬇️)

ImperfectCJ Admittedly, Twenge is an older GenXer and I'm a younger GenXer, and there's been a divide between those two microgenerations for a long time. Finally, some of the predictions for the future feel jarring given what's happened in the months between the book's publication and now, but I don't fault Twenge for that. We're in wacky territory is all, and data can only predict so much. (edited) 1mo

ImperfectCJ And a final note for anyone who reads as I do, bouncing between the audio and the print/ebook: The ebook has been updated since the audiobook was made, so there are sentences and paragraphs in the ebook that aren't in the audio. 1mo

RowReads1 Yup! I‘m a Xennial. there is a big divide between older and younger Xers. I‘ve been curious about this one. 1mo

ImperfectCJ @RowReads1 Twenge's cutoff for GenX is 1979, which my younger siblings would take issue with (I'm 1976, they're 1981 and 1983). She does mention Xennials, and she quotes Chuck Klosterman about the differences between younger and older GenX, but that's it. I try not to make too big a deal about microgenerational differences within GenX, but when my GenZ teenager generalizes, I set him straight (then he points out that GenX is ignored online). (edited) 1mo

RowReads1 @ImperfectCJ I don‘t mind that we‘re ignored online. I mean Gen X by Douglas Coupland is basically where the generational names and categorization “so called” officially took off from. We had tons of attention back then. 1mo

David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants | Malcolm Gladwell

pick

From dyslexia (my preferred learning disability—and before everyone gets all up in arms, I don‘t actually consider my dyslexia a disability, more like an inconvenience at this point in my life) to the Civil Rights Movement to the Conflict in Northern Ireland, Gladwell challenges the notion of The Underdog.
