Futurist Alvin Toffler is notable for putting forward some of the earliest and most comprehensive, popular audience Post-Industrial/Information Age formulations. While he treats invention as culture’s ultimate driver (Cultural Maturity proposes that invention is but one ingredient in systemic change) he predicts changes of very similar to those proposed by Cultural Maturity. His thinking can thus be thought to make at least a start into culturally mature territory (though culturally mature perspective would question whether the causalities he assumes would, by themselves, produce the outcomes he proposes).
