Gladwell, Malcolm

Revenge of the tipping point: overstories, superspreaders, and the rise of social engineering - London: Hachette; c2024. - xi, 352p.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Through a series of riveting stories, Gladwell traces the rise of a new and troubling form of social engineering. He takes us to the streets of Los Angeles to meet the world’s most successful bank robbers, rediscovers a forgotten television show from the 1970s that changed the world, visits the site of a historic experiment on a tiny cul-de-sac in northern California, and offers an alternate history of two of the biggest epidemics of our day: COVID and the opioid crisis.
