Overview
Uno de los mejores libros de Amazon de 2024
El libro más personal de Malcolm Gladwell, «un gurú de lo más carismático» (San Francisco Chronicle), una guía para entender las epidemias del mundo moderno.
Veinticinco años después de la publicación de su primer libro, Malcolm Gladwell retoma las lecciones de El punto clave con la intención de iniciar un debate difícil sobre las epidemias. Es el momento de reconocer nuestro papel en su génesis y ser honestos acerca de todas las formas sutiles y a veces ocultas en las que intentamos manipularlas. Necesitamos una guía sobre los patógenos y contagios que nos rodean.
A través de una serie de historias fascinantes, La venganza del punto clave rastrea el surgimiento de una nueva y preocupante forma de ingeniería social. Gladwell nos lleva a las calles de Los Ángeles para conocer a los ladrones de bancos más exitosos del mundo, redescubre un programa de televisión olvidado de la década de los setenta que cambió el mundo, visita el enclave donde se produjo un experimento histórico, en un pequeño callejón sin salida al norte de California, y ofrece una historia alternativa de dos de las mayores epidemias de nuestros días: la COVID y la crisis de los opioides. Con su característica combinación de ciencia social y divulgación, nos invita a reflexionar sobre nuestra comprensión de los contagios del mundo moderno (y sus puntos de inflexión).
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Amazon Best Books of 2024
A lot has changed in 25 years. A quarter-century after the publication of his groundbreaking first book, Malcolm Gladwell returns with a brand-new volume that reframes the lessons of The Tipping Point in a startling and revealing light — this time in an immersive audio format that transports you, the listener, directly inside of each riveting story.
Why is Miami… Miami? What does the heartbreaking fate of the cheetah tell us about the way we raise our children? Why do Ivy League schools care so much about sports? What is the Magic Third, and what does it mean for racial harmony? In this provocative new work, Malcolm Gladwell returns to the subject of social epidemics and tipping points, this time with the aim of explaining the dark side of contagious phenomena.
Through a series of gripping stories, Gladwell traces the rise of a new and troubling form of social engineering. As with his podcast Revisionist History and bestsellers Talking to Strangers and The Bomber Mafia, pressing play on this audiobook will bring each scene and story to life with vivid first-person accounts, captivating oral histories, illuminating moments from history past and present, and a cinematic original music score.
Take to the streets of Los Angeles with Malcolm to meet the world’s most successful bank robbers, rediscover a forgotten television show from the 1970s that changed the world, visit the site of a historic experiment on a tiny cul-de-sac in northern California, and explore an alternate history of two of the biggest epidemics of our day: COVID and the opioid crisis.
Revenge of the Tipping Point is Gladwell’s most personal book yet. With his characteristic mix of storytelling and social science, he offers a guide to making sense of the contagions of the modern world. It’s time we took tipping points seriously.
