While sarcastically criticizing and exposing the contradictions in the American Dream, the author pursues a variety of contemporary topics of social and cultural interest. Today is already tomorrow, he concludes, and we had better be ready to face the new culture head-on. After the groundwork to that premise has been laid, the author questions a variety of experts in education soliciting their opinions on the question, "Can our children handle the curricula of the future?" Of course most everyone agrees that, "Yes, they can." That positive response leads into the final portion of the book, a teacher's guide to the classroom use of Alvin Toffler's book "Future Shock," complete with discussion topics and avant-garde projects.
