I’ve been meaning for some time to write a post or five about Douglas Rushkoff’s Present Shock.  It was one of my favorite reads of 2013 and has been the book I find myself thinking about the most from last year.  Well, the folks at Whole Foods have made a nice video with Rushkoff in which he brings out some of the books highlights.  It’s an interesting take on chronos vs. kairos, which are terms you often hear when pastors parse the Greek words for time.

One thing the clip does not go into are the five major consequences of “present shock.”  Whole Foods even did a nifty chart of those five consequences: narrative collapse, digiphrenia, overwinding, fractalnoia, and apocalypto.  I highly encourage you to read the book, though you can check out the brief descriptions of these “new realities” here.
