What Future Shock Got Right

In reflecting on the the book Future Shock, published in 1970, NPR saliently states:

“What Future Shock got right was that it made a compelling argument for taking the acceleration of change seriously,” Candy says. And he says the value of the book was to teach people that the best defense against the future is to think about it, to imagine different scenarios, and try to avoid being taken by surprise.

It sounds like a Future Ready formula to me!
