Orson Wells. We all know the name as one of the greatest directors and minds of the last 100 years. Orson Wells narrates this amazing 1972 documentary Future Shock based on a book by the same name. Unlike so many other futurism documentaries and books, this one gets it right. In fact, frighteningly so. No flying cars or homes of the future here. Instead, it seems a society shocked into depression over the rapid advancement in technology.
