Talk:The Third Wave (book)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Seems to have been messed up; I've restored the previous version -Indigenius

I've added extra information placing the book in the context of the trilogy that it is a part of, providing a summary of the salient features of the third wave society (including extra elements gleaned from the sequel Powershift), and a short section speculating on the ever-prevalent question: "The Fourth Wave?"

A separate page should be written up for Powershift and maybe also for War and Anti-War. Toffler coined new phrases Material-ismo, Zone of Illusion, respectively, a play on "machismo" and the "zone of peace" term in vogue in early 1990's Europe. -- Mark 2006 June 30

[edit] Fourth Wave

Changed the title of this section, as it was called "Fourth Wave?". If it is disputed, that may be mentioned in the article, but the title doesn't really need a question mark. Furthermore, why does it say "note: The rpg "Transhuman Space" postulated a Fifth Wave - the consequence of Nanotechnology, Memetics and Artificial Intelligence." right below it? Besides the fact that the "n" in "note" should be capitalized, and RPG should also be capitalized since it is an acronym, it hardly belongs the section about the fourth wave, if in the article at all.

Just another quick add-on the my previous point: The part at the bottom is hardly even necessary, and certainly not notable. It is simply a detail of a video game story, and hardly belong in this article. After correcting the aforementioned details, I've decided to simply remove it altogether. Feel free to re-add it and dispute it in this talk page or on my user discussion page, thanks. Sandwiches99 00:43, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
