A holy statue. There does not appear to be a veil, so it's not the Virgin. A saint or Jesus, then. Hekate Jan 2020 #2

Future Shock is a 1970 book by the futurists Alvin and Heidi Toffler,[1] in which the authors define the term "future shock" as a certain psychological state of individuals and entire societies. Their shortest definition for the term is a personal perception of "too much change in too short a period of time".

From it's wiki page.
