Description
Malcolm Gladwell's latest work reframes the lessons of The Tipping Point in a new and thought-provoking light, exploring the dark side of contagious phenomena. Through a series of compelling stories, Gladwell delves into the rise of a new form of social engineering, tracing its impact on various aspects of modern life. From the streets of Los Angeles to the streets of history, Gladwell weaves a narrative that sheds light on the complexities of social epidemics and tipping points. He examines the heartbreaking fate of the cheetah, the role of sports in elite universities, and the Magic Third, all in the pursuit of understanding the modern world's most troubling social phenomena. With his characteristic blend of storytelling and social science, Gladwell offers a guide to making sense of the contagions that shape our world.
