on BBC Radio 3

by KRISHAN KUMAR , Lecturer In Sociology at the University of Kent at Canterbury
Until recently we have tended to look at the future through the discouraging eyes of imaginative Writers like Orwell and Aldous Huxley. But today's ' futurologists ' provide us with a rosier vision. Krishan Kumar comments on this transition, having just read three recently published books: Future Shock by Alvin Toffler , Utopia or Oblivion by R. Buckminster Fuller , and Radical Man by Charles Hampden-Turner .
