Howard Bloom<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n “The Case of the Sexual Cosmos is engaging, enjoyable, and compelling<\/strong>.” Conrad Labandeira, Research Scientist, Smithsonian Institution <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA massive achievement! A gigantic achievement. WOW!\u201d <\/strong>Richard Foreman, MacArthur Genius Award winner, officer of the French Academy of Arts and Letters, founder Ontological Hysteric Theater Company <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Case of the Sexual Cosmos<\/em> is a triumph<\/strong>. I particularly enjoyed the way Bloom\u2019s writing mirrored the content: full of surprises<\/strong>, unexpected connections, complexifying outcomes. I look forward to reading it again. And again!\u201d James Burke, creator of seven BBC-TV science series including the classic Connections<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHoward Bloom makes a forceful<\/strong> and interesting argument that our understanding of nature is wrong. He argues that we are not savaging the earth as some would have it, but instead are growing the cosmos. A fascinating<\/strong> read.\u201d Ellen Langer, Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, author of Mindfulness<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI believe The Case of the Sexual Cosmos is a masterwork<\/strong>. It captures wonderfully the elements of cosmic self-organization. At last a popular book that brings you a magisterial<\/strong> command of the disciplines, yet is optimistic about the human future.\u201d Gregory Matloff, Fellow of the British Interplanetary Society, Advisor to Yuri Milner’s Breakthrough Initiative Project Starshot, author of Biosphere Extensions<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBloom\u2019s writing is like getting tickled by a goddess<\/strong>. Invigorating and all consuming. A timely salve for all the doomers on X, an inspiration and a handbook. I look forward to savoring parts every day.\u201d Nando Pelusi, co-founder of the Applied Evolutionary Psychology Society (AEPS), board of advisers of the National Association of Cognitive Behavioral Therapists<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI loved Sexual Cosmos! \u2018With typical flair and clarity, The Case of the Sexual Cosmos effortlessly overturned some fundamental ideas I\u2019d allowed myself to take for granted. With no less than current scientific orthodoxy in his sights, Bloom makes a very convincing, long overdue, and welcome argument against the ubiquity of the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics and the Heat Death of the universe! As refreshing as a cold shower in a dog-eat-hot dog world, where existential, apocalyptic thinking holds sway, The Case of the Sexual Cosmos offers a paean to Nature\u2019s relentless invention and profligacy, and a timely reminder that \u2018doing the impossible\u2019 lies at the heart of so many of Life\u2019s greatest successes. The author\u2019s rigorously argued case for a First Law of Flamboyance offers a bracing and delightful alternative to a prevailing nihilism.<\/strong> Another paradigm-shifting, world-changing<\/strong> read from Howard Bloom, the polymath\u2019s polymath!\u201d Grant Morrison, revitalizer of Batman and Superman at DC Comics. Executive Producer of the Universal TV series Happy and Peacock\u2019s Brave New World<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs a tree-hugging dirt worshipper, I don’t take kindly to whiz-bang. Yet by the time I reached Bloom\u2019s defense of space solar power, as an option for getting to net zero, I trusted him enough to consider it\u2014to view it as part of a continuum of climate stabilization measures (starting with furs and fire) rather than a radical departure from what \u201cnature\u201d has ordained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI applaud Bloom\u2019s efforts to pull us humans\u2014and our propensity for fucking up stunningly\u2014out of Greta Thunberg\u2019s (and others\u2019) joy-free self-hate machine. We can\u2019t prove that we\u2019re awful; nor can we prove that we\u2019re awesome. But how many more miracles might we open our eyes to if we chose\u2014as Bloom does\u2014to tell the latter story?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe true tragedy, according to The Case of the Sexual Cosmos, is not war, or climate catastrophe. It\u2019s rejecting the exuberant flamboyance<\/strong> of exactly who we are.\u201d Helen Zuman, author of Mating in Captivity<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n The Case of the Sexual Cosmos Everything You Know About Nature is Wrong by Howard Bloom The Case of the …<\/p>\n![\"Book](\"https:\/\/howardbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/cosc-cover-726x1024.jpg\")

is a book about why two of science\u2019s most cherished assumptions are wrong and what sex has to do with it.\u00a0 not to mention, what sex tells us about the universe.\u00a0 and about your role in it.<\/em><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s the story of greening a planet of disaster and strife.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s a tale of transformation. It\u2019s the tale of the uplift of a toxic planet, a poison pill of stone. It\u2019s the saga of how the first teaspoon of life and its children overcame 142 mass extinctions. It\u2019s the story of the savagery of non-stop climate change. But it\u2019s the story of more than a mere struggle for survival.<\/h3>\n<\/div>

<\/figure>It\u2019s the story of how life harnessed disaster. It\u2019s the story of how life poisoned the atmosphere. Then how life invented a way to turn that poison into a power source: oxygen. It\u2019s the story of how life wrenched, wounded, and ate its environment of stone to create something radically unnatural-nature.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s the tale of how an upstart macromolecular team upped the GAL, the gross amount of life, the gross amount of living matter, on this planet. Not to mention the GAS. The gross amount of spirit. The gross amount of sentience. The gross amount of soul.<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
