Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: Used. The Third Wave (1981) by Alvin Toffler Bantam Books / ISBN: 0553144316 / Condition: Used (like civilisation, but still functioning) This is The Third Wave , Alvin Toffler?s grand, earnest attempt to explain why the world keeps changing just when you?ve finally figured out how to program the video recorder. Written in 1981, it?s a sweeping tour through human history: from the First Wave of agriculture, to the Second Wave of industrial society, to the Third Wave ?the information age, post-industrial economy, and the bit where everyone pretends to understand ?systems.? And this particular copy arrives via Crappy Old Books , which means it has itself survived all three waves: Printed Read Abandoned on a shelf for at least a decade So no, it?s not pristine futurism. It?s retro futurism, with the lived-in charm of a paperback that?s already watched several predictions either come eerily true or miss by an impressive margin. Inside the book, you?ll get: Toffler?s big thesis: society moves in waves, and if you feel permanently disoriented, that?s not your fault?it?s history?s. Grand declarations about work, family, politics, technology, and how everything we thought was stable is in fact sitting on a wobbly table made of trends. Diagrams (in your head, if not literally) of factories, nuclear families, and office workers being swept away by microchips, networks, and Very Serious Think Pieces. That oddly charming combination of being massively confident and occasionally very wrong that only late-20th-century futurists could pull off with a straight face. Inside this used copy , as supplied by Crappy Old Books with no illusions whatsoever, you may also find: A gently cracked spine, the physical manifestation of someone once thinking, ?Yes, I will understand the future if I finish this chapter.? Corners rubbed and softened by years of being slid in and out of bookcases, possibly in three different houses and one doomed storage unit. Pages that have shifted from bright white to that scholarly ?aged-essay beige,? making you feel more intelligent simply by holding it. Possibly a previous owner?s name on the inside cover in biro?the analogue equivalent of a forgotten login in the Age of Passwords. This is not a quick beach read. This is the sort of book that: Explains why your workplace is a confusing mess of old rules and new buzzwords. Calmly dissects why institutions behave like they?re in the 1950s while pretending to be ?cutting-edge.? Makes you realise that when you feel overwhelmed by change, you?re basically just surfing the Third Wave? badly? on a door someone found behind a filing cabinet. Perfect for: Readers who like big, sweeping societal theories delivered with absolute confidence and a lot of charts in spirit if not in print. People who enjoy retro futurism?seeing which predictions nailed the 21st century and which ones aged like unrefrigerated milk. Anyone who wants to sound extremely intellectual over coffee by saying things like, ?Well, of course, that?s a classic Second Wave assumption.? Fans of used paperbacks that wear their age proudly, like an old professor with elbow patches and far too many opinions. Is this copy mint? Of course not. If you wanted mint, you wouldn?t be browsing somewhere called Crappy Old Books , whose entire brand hinges on the phrase ?temper your expectations.? What you?re getting instead is a well-travelled , slightly scuffed, fully readable chunk of vintage futurism that has already survived one revolution in office technology and is eyeing the next with weary amusement. Adopt this used copy of The Third Wave . Let Toffler walk you through the past, explain the future, and accidentally remind you that even the boldest predictions eventually become just another yellowing paperback on the shelf?waiting for someone like you to pick it up and say, ?Ah yes, the future. From 1981.?
