Howard Bloom richt zich op massa-gedrag, van subatomaire deeltjes tot menselijke samenlevingen. Zijn werk brengt wetenschap, geschiedenis en cultuur samen om de onderliggende dynamiek van menselijke en kosmische evolutie te belichten. Bloom's benadering kenmerkt zich door een unieke combinatie van rigoureus wetenschappelijk onderzoek en diepe intuïtie, gericht op het ontrafelen van de complexe patronen die collectief handelen sturen. Hij biedt lezers een boeiend perspectief op de mechanismen die geschiedenis en de ontwikkeling van massa-bewustzijn door de tijd heen aandrijven.
