In this follow-up to The Lucifer Principle, Howard Bloom offers a radical rewrite of evolution, showing how lifeforms have developed interconnected "global brains." He reveals surprising insights, like spiny lobsters marching in Paleozoic rituals and bee brainwork during the dinosaurs’ reign. Tracing back to the big bang, Bloom argues that bacterial teams 3.5 billion years ago woven strands of collective intelligence throughout history. Ultimately, he transforms our view of ourselves by demonstrating how culture shapes infant brains, immersing us in mass delusions we think of as reality.
