Heidi Toffler (2019), unheralded futurist author

Heidi Toffler played an integral part in the creation of pioneering futurist books with her husband, Alvin. The researcher and editor worked with Alvin on the pioneering “Future Shock,” and the books that followed. “Future Shock” was published in 1970 and sold millions, predicting the internet, telecommuting, and other technology advances. Alvin Toffler wanted Heidi to take credit for her work but she refused until she was credited as co-author on their 1993 book, “War and Anti-War: Survival at the Dawn of the 21st Century.”
