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? 7d
JenlovesJT47 It does look like a dystopian novel. Reminds me of 1984 for some reason. Would make a great first sentence for your novel! 🖤🤍🩶🤍🖤 7d
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
