It DOES take awhile to get used to the abrupt shifts in style, but to my mind, it reminds me of a musical - where characters burst into song, or -perhaps more relevant- of an evening salon where one person might sing, another recite verses, another play an instrument, and someone tells a joke - where the content and temp shift. Perhaps organically I’ve heightened that by adding music. It’s all connected in her world, and I think it speaks to the depth of innocence even in her gothic sensibility. Thank you again for this marvelous addendum & the referral. I think a listener could indeed skip over to this at any time, spoilers and all. (I certainly read books over and over, so spoilers lack their punch.... what matters is the WAY it is told and unfolds.)

Thank you again, I am so 💕 touched that you’re enjoying my “labor of love” of recording Udolpho. This introduction, your thoughts, & editing are is such a marvelous addition, and I will definitely be referring people back to this in multiple ways.

😂 I wouldn’t expect Henry James to think much of her work. The works he compares it to are 1) written by males, 2) aimed at a different audience. For all of its shock value, Udolpho remains relatively innocent. I am SO enjoying this! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much, Ellie. This is interesting information. I look forward to hearing the rest as you add it.

Did you not finish narrating the book Ellie?

Thank you Ellie. Well read! An important book that should be much more widely read than it no doubt is. Can't quite place your accent. Sort of midlands heading toward heading toward Derby and Nottingham is my best guess

Just to spell out the forerunners of *our* species that are mentioned here. Our species being named in the chapter... Homo sapiens sapiens (yes, the sapiens is listed twice. This isn't mentioned in this chapter, I recall that from my A level Human Biology study in my teens.) The other ancestor species mentioned here are: Ramapithecus Australopithecus Homo habilis Homo erectus Homo sapiens The female pubic bone I mentioned is the mons pubis, I misspoke initially as the morning sun was in my eyes. Apologies 😁 Please like, comment, subscribe 👍🏼

Very sad 😢

Wow, you're just as beautiful as your voice madam

What an amazing voice

#1: @Ellie comers + movers are just basically a trend . . . could it be; a Fad - question mark!?! are definitely mover + shaker

⭐⭐⭐Like⭐⭐⭐ A marathon effort!

A sobering end to the chapter....

Oops I said "chapter 8 continued" obviously it's chapter 9 It's alarming to hear what people were thinking of doing. One wonders how far they got with this technology.....

It's heartening to hear, in this section, that no matter what crazy ideas about child rearing are current right now, they are likely to be overturned, and potentially ridiculed, just as rapidly.

Welcome to new subscribers. I hope you enjoy the reading of this book. Apologies for the many fluffs, I'm reading it along with you. It's an interesting and thought provoking read isn't it.

Please feel free to comment your thoughts and ideas about what Toffler was saying. Or about these readings in general.

Thank goodness that chapter is finished!!!! I want to find out more about the psychological affects of rapid change. This chapter was a slog to get through. Interesting from a historical perspective.

Ah interesting! I've just started reading "Stepford Wives" and how should it start but with a woman being paid a visit by a "Welcome Wagon", showering her with little household and toiletries gifts and vouchers. I wouldn't have fully grasped the significance of that had I not recently read this. The part of Future Shock that mooted the idea of "modular family units - wife and children" that stayed put while the up and coming young execs moved on to a new city is straight out of Stepford Wives isn't it. Whose idea came first i wonder. It was clearly in the futurist thinkers' air in the early 70's. Future Shock written in 1970, Stepford Wives in 1972....

This last section actually was longer than I thought so I've had to split "Beyond Bureaucracy" into two parts so the next video is the last section of chapter 7. I'm looking forward to get to future chapters that talks about the toll this increased rate of transience and change on people's wellbeing. As I was reading too, i was thinking how things have changed in the workplace and the rise of zero hours contracts and the lack of basic things like sick pay, pension plans and employee rights. People aren't even classed as employees any more with today's work practices, the needs of the company is paramount, individuals are fully interchangeable and disposable.

It is recommended that you listen to one small section at a time rather than binge on it. It was written in 1970 remember when people had a longer attention span and the pace of life, whilst already speeding up, was slower than now. Listen to a bit, make notes even. Then just sit and reflect on what he said, what you've heard, before rushing headlong into the next part. There's a lot of stuff to digest here, this is not a fast food read. Let each section percolate in your brain a while before moving on to the next. Take a single bite each day. 😎 Please like and share it, it's a thought provoking book, he predicted the pace of change and the difficulties that we have in coping with it all. And it's interesting to see what he got right and wrong 😎

I have to try harder to listen along...you keep pulling me to sleep! I'm going to change my schedule to listening to this series when I'm walking :)

Excuse the verbal fluffs and stumbles 🙄😁

Cat

Do you embrace the opportunity to change location? Or are you more of a "mournful mover"?

Wohoo- thank you.this is amazing -😇

Please give feedback on the "listenability" of the readings I've completed so far - constructive feedback on how it's coming across and how it could be improved on in future chapters. Thanks

Hello 👋 Humanimal sent me. Looking forward to listening to this book that I meant to read but never got around to it. Thanks!

Cannot help to relate this to current events in Ukraine. I am fascinated with the westernized worlds reaction to the current situation. Based on people reactions, and in sweeping terms, peopel seems not even to know the past 60 years of the history of this region, even less the past 1000 years. Being cut of from history is prolly what make the world react as it does... With this I am not taking any side, I just think it is interesting that people take such, imo, cluless and passionated stance as they do.

Oh dear, why do I feel like I am already living in that future...

Hi Ellie This sounds like a very insightful book, one I need to "listen" to. I'll be listening to your readings, thanks Hope Isaac does too... you have a soothing voice! :)
