Future Shock Documentary (1972)

The 1972 documentary based on Alvin Toffler's book Future Shock, narrated by Orson Welles. It is a dystopian look at the accelerating pace of technological change and its psychological toll.

Recommended as a period piece whose worries about rapid change still feel relevant to current tech anxieties.
