I just read a related book, “The Shockwave Rider” from 1975, which apparently Brennan said was derived from “Future Shock”. Despite some big misses in predicting future tech, it was a very interesting exploration of the effects of rapid cha

That’s interesting, I shared the “but why” until mid way through a BSc in Physics. The foundational concepts of “this is how {thermo|mechanics|quantum} works” was exciting, but the remainder of each semester was “now let’s work through all
