What to expect
The Lucifer Priciple is a revolutionary work that explores the intricate relationships among genetics, human behavior, and culture to put forth the thesis that “evil” is a by-product of nature’s strategies for creation and that it is woven into our most basic biological fabric. Though this argument is not a new one—it has been brought forth by such great historical figures as St. Paul, Thomas Hobbes, and Raymond Dart—Howard Bloom here takes fresh data from a variety of sources and shapes it into a lens through which listeners can reinterpret the human experience.
Critics Review
-
“Unlike anything you’ve ever read before. An act of astonishing intellectual courage.”
Leon Uris, New York Times bestselling author -
“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.”
Boston Globe -
“Bloom’s tour of science and history is fascinating…A grand, exciting idea.”
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.”
