    I heard about this book when I was young, and the older I get the realer it becomes.

    “Future Shock” by Alvin Toffler, written circa 1970. The author, a sociologist, predicted that as the world moved from the Industrial Age to the Digital Era many people would be unwilling/unable to deal with the new realities.

    “Conservatives” all over the world are working harder and harder to hold onto the past.
