BREXIT DAY 4

6/27/2016

The man who popularised the phrase “information overload” has died, although presumably not from an overdose of Brexit bollockology.  In 1970, in his best-selling book “Future Shock”, Alvin Toffler presciently forecast massive cultural, political and economic upheaval in the developed world because of the “roaring current of change” driven by mass communications and computers.

​He was amazingly accurate, not least in warning that people and institutions that fail to keep pace with change face ruin. But his book was not immediately praised.

Time magazine’s reviewer declared: 
“Toffler’s redundant delivery and overheated prose turned kernels of truth into puffed generalities.”   Something, you could say all these years later, precisely sums up the fiasco of the Brexit debate.
