Five Scenarios for the Year 2000. (Bio-Bibliographies in Music)

With the advent of a new millenium little more than a decade away, Professor Ferrarotti has written a unique collection of futurological scenarios that stresses the importance of both the historical and a muti-disciplinary approach. The author draws attention to the political tension underlying technological innovation, while heralding the anticipated appearance of a new ethos shaped by the exigencies of the new technological age. Old-fashioned individualism appears to be doomed, acknowledges the author; yet a new kind of socially-oriented individualism could develop, preserving that which is still vital in traditional values and influencing new, socio-psychological attitudes which are required by a technically advancing society.Franco Ferrarotti is the author of 'Five Scenarios for the Year 2000. (Bio-Bibliographies in Music)', published 1986 under ISBN 9780313253324 and ISBN 0313253323.
