The study of how physically assembled groups will behave in a future of augmented reality, brain-computer interfaces, and perhaps even telepathic connection. Crowds of the third millennium may not need to speak—they might share thoughts directly, experience collective emotions instantaneously, coordinate without visible signals. The psychology will be more intense, more immersive, more dangerous. A crowd that shares thoughts is a crowd that can't hide dissent; a crowd that feels together is a crowd that can be manipulated at neurological levels. The psychology of the crowds of the third millennium raises questions about individuality, autonomy, and the very meaning of being a person in a world where boundaries between selves can dissolve at will.
