Future Shock | 
bailedI don‘t think I have EVER bailed on an audio, but I really cannot take 10+ more hours of this outdated, misogynistic “future” talk. I wanted to enjoy this, as it was recommended by a local environmental communications professor I highly respect, but this 1970‘s book rants on and on about how the future is speeding up and what MEN will be like in societies of the future. I think I gained everything important from the intro and Part 1.
1. I can‘t say whether it‘s the longest or not, but this has been on our shelves for at least 37 years.
2. I can‘t decide whether it will still be relevant, and it wound a time sink!
3. Don Quixote, The Fruit of the Tree, Coriolanus, The Secrets of the Fire King

Is it bad to purposely buy a bigger bag to fit books and sleeves? Asking for a friend....

#TBRtemptation post! Ever want to look back in time to see how past generations thought of what the world might be today? I remember we did this in school as 2000 approached. This is one of those books! Published in 1970 and written by an at-the-time renowned futurist, this title became huge, selling millions of copies. Should be an interesting read 😊👍🏻--his premise is tech rapidity & overload & societal psychology. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
