Books by Stephen Bertman

From Toffler's psychobiological disease "future shock", comes Bertman's diagnoses of "hyperculture" - a chronic warping of morals and ethics caused by America's addiction to speed. The treatment he argues, is a drastic slowdown and reasserted control over the technologies that dominate our lives.

Applying the metaphor of Alzheimer's disease to the American national state of mind, Stephen Bertman offers a chilling prognosis for the future of the country. He presents psychological insights into the nature of memory together with perspectives on the meaning and future of democracy.
