Check out the cover of Malcolm Gladwell’s new book, Revenge of the Tipping Point (exclusive)

Malcolm Gladwell’s next book, The Revenge of the Turning Point: Overstories, Superspreaders and the Rise of Social Engineering finally has a cover, PEOPLE can exclusively reveal.

The bestselling author’s book, which is a sequel to his 2000 book The turning point: How small things can make a big differencewill be available for purchase from October.

On the day of the book’s release, Gladwell, 60, will embark on a North American reading tour; details have yet to be announced.

The Revenge of the Turning Point will bring a “fresh perspective” to the concepts Gladwell previously explored in The turning point because it re-examines the teachings in a “surprising and insightful light.”

Gladwell’s book will show us how society has coped with and survived recent epidemics, “sometimes with great success, sometimes with catastrophic consequences.”

The book also examines new topics and questions that have gained importance in our society over the last 25 years.

According to the book’s synopsis, these include questions such as “Why did Los Angeles become the world capital of bank robberies in the late 1980s and early 1990s?”, “What is the magic third and what does it have to do with racial equality?” and “How did a 1970s television show change the world and what exactly happened at a company retreat at the Boston Marriott Hotel?”

A takeaway awaits in Revenge at the turning point is how to properly take responsibility and make a positive impact. “Above all, we must recognize our responsibility – as individuals and as a society – to take tipping points seriously if we want to change our world for the better,” says a summary of the book.

“In this thought-provoking new book, his most personal yet, Gladwell gives us the insights we need to meet these challenges in innovative ways.”

And now we have the cover pictured below.

Since The turning point hit bookstores almost 25 years ago, the author has sold more than 23 million copies of his books in North America alone. Gladwell’s other bestsellers include Runaway, Flash, Talking to strangers And What the dog saw.
