"Toffler proclaims the arrival of the third era of human civilization--the postindustrial--and foresees
radical changes in economics, political systems, technology, knowledge and family units. "Magnificient....an
astonishing array of information.""

Summary
The Third Wave makes startling sense of the violent changes now battering our world. Its sweeping synthesis
casts fresh light on our new forms of marriage and family, on today's dramatic changes in business and economics.
It explains the role of cults, the new definitions of work, play, love, and success. It points toward new forms
of twenty-first-century democracy.
