Future Shock Summery

This book is talking about what will be occurring to people when they are invaded by
significant changes of the future. It highlights to people's capacity of adapting and failing to
adapt the huge changes of the future. Massive changes will play rolls in several aspects of
humans' lives. Some people will deal and coin those changes positively, and some will face
obstacles. Changes will reach communities and will transform their nucleus. Every individual
will be experiencing different changes that will affect his entire life. Every individual will have
his recreated values and what was considered wrong will be correct. Starting from the
conception of marriage, and the sheer transforms that will make it in a new image to the
conventional families that will be replaced by other forms of modern, novel families. Those
families will reset and renew families' roll, no children after financial stability and other
matter stuff. Modern novel methods of pregnancy and childbearing will be seen. Women
will have the chance to bore their children – embryos- or rent wombs of other women to do
it! Friendships, relationships, and lifestyles will be completely exchanged. Those rapid
changes will redefine everything. Techno-communities will be at the head of those changes.
Those will suffer from variable subcultures that every single one of them will standardize its
values, faiths, religions and even traditions, and damage communities' homogeneity and
unity. Because of all that diversities in several aspects of future life, people will be most
likely disorientated and frustrated. Most of them will struggle to deal with the new forms of
societies, overwhelmed by over choices, the result will be misunderstanding of the future,
and misleading to reality unless we took a step earlier and equipped by knowledge. It will
not be only about social life, but it will reach politics and economy. Changes will invade
human markets, a lot of products will be produced, different designs, variable items and
uncountable selects. Everyone will have the ability to vote, raise his voice, and participate to
determine the communities' fates. The second author's purpose of writing this book is
arguing people lack of adapting the future shocks that will happen in short time, and how
humans will be dragged by those changes when they are unprepared, not ready to handle
them. The other purpose is to aid humans to deal with those psychological, social and
economic changes by increasing humans' awareness and skills to adopt them appropriately.
it will open humans' eyes toward the pace of changes that happens acceleratively and
quickly and how humans should be flexible and smart to exploit them. The book suggests
methods that intend to give coherent pictures and rise consciousness of the future of the
reader himself and the people too. All that will be happening in the upcoming years without
assurances, and humans should prepare themselves to adapt and adopt the whole what will
lead them to proper future. Humans should fill their lack of comprehension of the future, or
there will be a breakdown to human race.
