Within this extraordinary follow-up towards the critically acclaimed The Lucifer Principle, Howard Bloom-one of today’s preeminent thinkers-offers us a bold rewrite of the evolutionary saga. He displays how plants and animals (including human beings) have advanced together as the different parts of an internationally learning machine. He details the network of life on Earth as one that is, in fact, a “complicated adaptive program,” a global brain where each of us plays a occasionally conscious, occasionally unknowing role. And he about Global Human brain: The Progression of Mass Brain from your Big Bang to the 21st Century reveals that the World Wide Web is just the most recent step in the development of this brain. These are ideas as important because they are radical.

Informed by twenty years of interdisciplinary study, Bloom will take us on the spellbinding journey back to the best bang and then back to today’s via amazing routes. Along the way Bloom displays us how tradition shapes our baby brains, immersing us in a matrix of truth and mass delusion that people think about as reality.

Global Brain is usually more than only a brilliantly original contribution towards the ongoing debate in the internal workings of evolution; it is a “grand eyesight,” says the eminent evolutionary biologist David Sloan Wilson, a function that transforms our very watch of who we are and just why.

“As anyone who has spent forty years in psychology having a long-standing desire for evolution, I’ll simply assimilate Howard Bloom’s success and my amazement.”-David Smillie, visiting professor of zoology, Duke University
