Howard Bloom has been called the Einstein, Newton, Darwin and Freud of the 21st century by Britain’s Channel 4 TV and “the next Stephen Hawking” by Gear Magazine. Bloom is co-designing a multi-planetary mission at Caltech. The Office of the Secretary of Defense has thrown a forum on one of Bloom's seven books and has brought in representatives from the State Department, the Energy Department, DARPA, IBM, and MIT. BRIC-TV is currently making a 70-minute documentary about Bloom's life called Surf the Catastrophe. Director is three-time Emmy winner Charlie Hoxie. Bloom has been on 545 North American radio stations 249 times. Buzz Aldrin has been a working colleague for ten years. The Sheikh who runs Dubai has named a racehorse after one of Bloom's books. The eleventh president of India has called Bloom's writing “visionary.” Bloom co-founded the Asian Space Technology Summit, which he chaired in Malaysia in May of 2017. Oh, and once upon a time Bloom founded and ran The Howard Bloom Organization, the biggest pr firm in the music industry, working with Michael Jackson, Prince, Bob Marley, Bette Midler, Billy Joel, Billy Idol, Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, David Byrne, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Queen, Kiss, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, and Run-DMC. Not to mention Amnesty International, Farm Aid, the NAACP, the Black United Fund, and the United Negro College Fund. Bloom explains that his field is "mass behavior, from the mass behavior of quarks to the mass behavior of human beings." And apparently, he’s not kidding.
