on
THE LUCIFER PRINCIPLE
A Scientific Expedition
Into The Forces Of History
"Readers will be mesmerized
by the mirror Bloom holds to the human condition, and dumbfounded by the fusillade
of eclectic data that arrives with the swiftness and intensity of a furious tennis
volley. His style is effortless, engaging, witty and brisk.... He draws on a dozen
years of research into a jungle of scholarly fields...and meticulously supports
every bit of information...."
Washington Post
"provocative...explosive...feisty...a string of rhetorical firecrackers
that challenge our many forms of self-righteousness."
Chet
Raymo, Boston Globe
"Bloom's tour of science and history
is fascinating...a grand, exciting idea...."
Will
St. John, Detroit Free Press
"Howard Bloom's book is an epoch-making
and culture-defining treatise. It is destined to be the Future Shock of our time."
Bob Guccione, Jr., publisher
and editor-in-chief of
Spin Magazine
"elegant...the highest quality of brain food...[a]
revolutionary new vision of human nature...[a] monumental work...heady stuff from
a wonderful, original thinker...simply stunning...."
Lawrence
Hall, Newark Star-Ledger
"a philosophical look at the history
of our species, which alternated between fascinating and frightening. Reading
it was like reading Dean Koontz or Stephen King: I couldn't put it down. ...masterful...."
Mark Graham, Rocky Mountain News
"You
only thought you knew what you were until you read this book. I want to burn it.
I wish I had never read it. I wish Howard Bloom had never been born. And it is
now my Bible. It is undeniable. It is a force unto itself. Everything you believed
before, it will rip from you. It will leave you a boneless jelly of confusion.
It will be the voice of a new philosophical generation."
Nassir
Isaf, an 18-year-old reader from Bainbridge Island, WA
