The essence of "Future War": The whole book is divided into 6 parts and 25 chapters. The first part "Conflict" and the second part "Trajectory" discuss various causes of military conflicts, with special emphasis on Clash of Civilizations. The third part, "Exploration," mainly explores the forms of future warfare, including "sophisticated" warfare, space warfare, robot warfare, and bloodless warfare. The fourth part, "Knowledge", tells the application of various modern scientific knowledge in future wars. The fifth part "Crisis" includes ***4 chapters of "People to Army", "Elves Released", "Illusion Area" and "World Divided into Three". The sixth part, "Peace," discusses the forms of peace and the global system in the 21st century. The author finally borrows Trotsky's famous saying to warn: "Maybe you have no interest in war, but war is very interested in you."

Will we fall into it, or can we avoid it? A long and bloody war? In this new book, the Tofflers conduct a profound analysis of topics related to war and peace throughout human history. They believe that the revolutionary changes taking place in today's business activities will also be reflected in the armies of various countries around the world and future wars. , for this reason, when we make changes, we also need to create peace.

It is for this purpose that the book "Future War" introduces in detail the general trend of the development of modern war into future war. This is of great significance to all walks of life preparing for the advent of the 21st century. There are many places where we can learn from each other.

When should people seek new strategies in the future? When is an international industry in crisis? How peacekeepers around the world should become smarter and equip themselves with more powerful weapons and equipment... are all described in detail in this book. The Tofflers believe that the form of war has been constantly changing since ancient times. In the era of agricultural civilization, the form of war was hoes and swords. In the era of industrial civilization, the form of war is mass production plus destructive weapons. In the future era, as information and knowledge play an increasingly important role in the economic system, we will witness the arrival of the era of "software defeating steel". Therefore, from now on, "knowledge strategy" will occupy an increasingly important position in military thinking. The "smart bombs" used in the Gulf War illustrate that in future wars there will be robots making key military decisions, "virtual reality" weapons that confuse the enemy, and "electronic ants" that can penetrate into the enemy's commercial and intelligence computing networks. There may even be digital media that replace diplomacy, and so on.
