Global Brain: The Evolution of the Mass Mind from the Big Bang to the 21st Century

Praise for Howard Bloom and GLOBAL BRAIN "With this bold vision of evolution and human behavior, Bloom has raced ahead to explore possibilities that the timid scientific herd may well be forced to follow."--David Sloan Wilson, Coauthor of Unto Others: The Evolution and Psychology of Unselfish Behavior "Filled with scientific firsts."--Elizabeth Loftus, past president, American Psychological Society "I doubt there is any stronger intellect than Bloom's on the planet."--Joseph Chilton Pierce "A soaring song of songs about the amorous origins of the world and its almost medieval urge to copulate."--Kevin Kelly, Editor-at-Large, Wired "A superbly written and totally original argument. . . . A must-read."--Robin Fox, coauthor of The Imperial Animal "As someone who has spent forty years in psychology with a long-standing interest in evolution, I'll just assimilate Howard Bloom's accomplishment and my amazement."--David Smillie, Duke University "Howard Bloom is next on a very short list that includes Darwin, Freud, Einstein, and Buckminster Fuller."--Richard Metzger "Howard Bloom may be the new Stephen Hawking."--Aaron Hicklin, Gear "You have not lived until you have interacted with Howard Bloom."--James Brody, organizer of the "Healing the Moral Animal" seminars "Bloom's concept of collective information processing may startle skeptical readers with its explanatory power."--Publishers Weekly "I am awestruck."--Douglas Rushkoff, author of Media Virus, Coercion, and Ecstasy Club
