NEW YORK (AP) 鈥� Coming this fall: 鈥淭he Tipping Point,鈥� the sequel.
Little, Brown and Co. announced Wednesday that Malcolm Gladwell's 鈥淩evenge Of the Tipping Point" will be published Oct. 1. The book arrives nearly a quarter-century after Gladwell's 鈥淭he Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference,鈥� his million-selling debut. Little, Brown is calling 鈥淩evenge of the Tipping Point鈥� a 鈥渇resh perspective" on a variety of social issues.
鈥淲hy in the late 1980s and early 鈥�90s did Los Angeles become the bank robbery capital of the world? What is the Magic Third and what does it have to do with racial equity? What do big cats and clusters of teen suicide have in common?鈥� the publisher's announcement reads in part.
鈥淭hese are just some of the questions Malcolm Gladwell addresses in this provocative new work, which revisits the phenomenon of social epidemics and examines the ways in which we have learned to tinker with and shape the spread of ideas, viruses, and trends 鈥� sometimes with great success, sometimes with disastrous consequences.鈥�
Gladwell's other books include 鈥淏link,鈥� 鈥淥utliers鈥� and 鈥淭he Bomber Mafia.鈥� He is also a longtime New Yorker staff writer and host of the podcast 鈥淩evisionist History.鈥�
