Alvin Toffler is an American writer and the world’s best-known futurist, known for his works discussing the digital, communications and corporate revolution and technological singularity.
A former associate editor of Fortune magazine, his early work focused on technology and its impact (through effects like information overload). Then he moved to examining the reaction of, and changes in, society. His more recent focus has been on the increasing power of 21st century military hardware, weapons and technology proliferation, and capitalism. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife Heidi who is also a writer and futurist and with whom he collaborates on all his books credited under his name. He has been named by Accenture as the third-most influential voice among business leaders, after Bill Gates and Peter Drucker.
