2022 Climate, chaos and collective behaviour – A rising fickleness (Frontiers of globalization series). London: Palgrave MacMillan, Fall. Book in ten chapters, all opening with lively new case studies on collective reactions to the recent Covid epidemic and Global warming – from the ‘Greta effect’ to the ‘Yellow vests’ and more. Followed by further sections on those capricious phenomena in hearsay and media hypes; opinion currents, early social movements and riots; their expression in fashion, panic and protests; crazes and crashes. 
As well as subsequent sections on further meta-principles underlying these, deriving from the newly discovered capricious logic of ‘complex adaptive systems’: continuous mutation and circular reaction; the formation of synergy; the emergence of patterns and ‘self-organization’; evolving contexts, critical thresholds and possible ‘attractors’; and finally ‘phase transitions’. 
The ultimate chapters discuss ‘fundamental uncertainty’, the limits of prediction and planning – also in ‘issues management’. It is a successor to the earlier book Brein-bevingen (Mind-quakes) on Rapid shifts in Opinion and Communication. Both its Dutch and English editions were acclaimed at the time, but the original has long been out of print.
