Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

The husband-and-wife team who collaborated on Future Shock present a chilling look at possible future wars. As set out in their earlier collaboration, The Third Wave (1980), the Tofflers' scenario portrays a world once bisected into First Wave (agrarian) and Second Wave (industrial) powers changing drastically as the U.S., Europe and Japan move toward a Third Wave economy that creates and exploits electronic information and advanced technology. The result on the battlefield, they claim, is the potential for more wars dominated by "knowledge strategy" and featuring high-tech weaponry such as battlefield robots, pilotless combat aircraft, omniscient surveillance satellites, non-lethal weapons like sleep-inducing agents, and by low-cost "niche warfare" using special forces. The Tofflers sketch a preventive strategy for peace that includes the sharing of information technology to halt weapons proliferation and the creation of a "rapid reaction contingency broadcasting force" capable of beaming news anywhere in the world.

From Library Journal

Joined by wife Heidi, Alvin Toffler ( Future Shock , LJ 7/70; The Third Wave , LJ 4/1/80; Powershift , LJ 11/1/90) here turns to the subject of war. Seeing the phenomena of war as related to the level of technology and production in society, they focus on the "Third Wave" form of war, as exemplified by the Gulf War. Taking way too much credit for their own influence on the thinking of military strategists, the Tofflers discuss how the new production technology has transformed war from the "Second Wave" warfare (i.e., the Vietnam-era military) to a new era of "smart bombs" and "intelligent" weapons systems. In addition, they argue that new forms of war require new forms of thinking about peace. Despite its occasional glibness, the Tofflers' work is recommended as a stimulus to thinking about the future of global military and political conflict. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 5/15/93.

    4.0 out of 5 stars what they didn't see coming in 1994
    Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2003
    everything in this book is here now, as well as some newer insidious developments. people no longer live private lives, what with a cell phone being able to track you around and all your conversations being heard and recorded, even if the phone is switched off. smart bombs, HAARP and atmospheric manipulation, every home infiltrated with myriad electromagnetic fields that disrupt human biological functions. Soon everyone in the world will have some sort of ID card or implant, that will tell any scanner who you are, and include your banking and credit data, personal data, nationality, and convictions-- all accessed by some sort of infrared device. the infrared devices now in use can tell how much paper money you have in your wallet, purse, or in the house of business, eventhough the scanner is inside of some car passing by your house on the street. No one is hidden anymore, video cameras scan just about any place, street, address, roadway, business, interior, exterior and can tell who goes where and what they do. Computer programs unknowingly downloaded onto your hard drive can realy just about anything about you and your habits that you would have just as sonn kept hidden.
    This books gets you into the mindset, if you are so naive to think none of this is real, but only sci fi...NOT!

    2.0 out of 5 stars The Future Wasn’t Supposed to Be Like This
    Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2014
    I have it on good authority that Alvin Toffler gave the first U.S. university course on the future, in 1966. I wasn’t old enough back then to attend. A pity: I could have done a term paper on 1996. I can body forth the forms of things unknown as well as anyone. Besides, what’s not to like about a three-decade incomplete? I was old enough to hear about "Future Shock" when it was published, in 1970, but not old enough to read more than bits and pieces. Finally, a friend gave me his copy of "War and Anti-War." I read it and realized what I hadn’t missed. To put it mildly, the Tofflers failed to predict quite a few things. Mainly, they did not predict that the U.S. Army would misapply the lessons of the Gulf War in the Iraq War as surely as it had misapplied the lessons of World War II in the Vietnam War. To see what really happened, read a good history, like Thomas Ricks’s "The Generals." Even bad history is more accurate than good futurology.

    Even when WAW was published, in 1993, it was obviously a name-dropping book. I don’t mean vulgar name dropping, like the magazine ad for rum with the couple telling us how Liza Minnelli introduced them to a new rum drink. (Good for her.) No, the Tofflers drop the names of people you never heard of who have impressive titles. An example: "In 1992 Bo Rybeck, director of the Swedish National Defense Research Institute, pointed out that as we become able to identify the DNA variations of different racial and ethnic groups, 'we will be able to determine the differences between blacks and whites and Orientals and Jews and Swedes and Finns and develop an agent that will kill only [a particular] group.' One can imagine the uses to which such technology might be put by 'ethnic cleansers' of tomorrow." The latter sentence may be true, which is more than one can say for Rybeck’s assertion. The Swedes, for example, have been a distinct ethnic group for nearly two millennia, but human genes have existed for over eleven millennia, and have the remarkable ability to cross national boundaries. If you Google on “Swedish gene,” you’ll get the LinkedIn page of Gene Swedish.

    One review of WAW called it “neo-Marxist nonsense.” It’s clear that it was influenced by a Marx—but which Marx: Karl or Groucho?

    Excellent read providing leading concepts of and about human behaviour in the early 21st century. Published in 1993, this again shows the astonishing future 'awareness' of the authors.
