If you liked the nonfiction The Tipping Point and Malcolm Gladwell’s two later books in the same genre, Blink and Outliers, you’d surely want to know what social or cultural phenomena he has trained his sights on for his next book. The former reporter for the Washington Post has become not only a global celebrity but a cultural phenomenon all by himself by coming up with seemingly outlandish but uncannily astute explanations for such things as the true roots of genius and the value of snap judgments, then putting his ideas into books that were to become runaway international bestsellers. He says he’s thinking of writing “a really nerdy book,” but in the meantime, he’s currently on a British lecture tour this June that will likely see him percolating before audiences in Glasgow, Brighton, Liverpool, and Birmingham whatever new theories he intends to propound or puncture next in that delightfully readable nerdy style of his.

Find out precisely what’s on his mind in the feature story “Malcolm Gladwell: The future of the media” that came out in the June 11 issue of The Independent in the UK.
