This collection of interviews with the author of Future Shock and The Third Wave sets up a confrontation between Toffler's philosophies and those of his interviewer, belonging to the left-wing.

Toffler responds with eloquence and wit to questions dealing with current issues and with ideas raised in his best-selling books.

The first section "Previews" offers further elaboration of Toffler's theories presented in The Third Wave on the financial crisis in the U.S. and throughout the world. He discusses the myth of Japanese invincibility and analyzes the ways that the decentralization of the workplace has affected women's rights.

The "Premises" section includes biographical facts concerning Toffler's background, education, his writing techniques, including insights into the creation of television program based on The Third Wave.
