After four sections devoted to demonstrating the premise of increasing change and describing its dimensions and (with highly variable accuracy) suggesting future trends, section 5 looks at limits of adaptability (physical and psychological impacts on the individual), and section 6 on survival strategies (personal and social coping mechanisms, education, and backlash). The psychological and sociological aspects have impressed me most.

The book as a whole is somewhat uneven, though it was ambitious and parts seem highly relevant still.
