RIP Alvin Toffler, author, 87

[dischead]

Alvin Toffler, the celebrated author of "Future Shock," the first in a trilogy of best-selling books that presciently
forecast how people and institutions of the late 20th century would contend with the immense strains and
soaring opportunities of accelerating change, died on Monday at his home in Los Angeles.  He was 87.

Monday June 27th.

Our very progressive Junior year English lit teacher in high school in 1972 had us read both Future Shock and The Greening of America.
