From the writer of Future Shock comes a striking way to avoid it of today’s despair … a bracing, optimistic look at our brand-new potentials.

THE 3RD Wave makes startling sense of the violent changes now battering our world.

It clarifies the function of cults, the brand new definitions of function, play, love, and achievement. It factors toward new types of twenty-first-century democracy.
