Supermassive black holes are amazingly exotic and yet ubiquitous objects, residing in the centers of essentially all stellar bulges in galaxies. Recent years have seen remarkable advances in our understanding of how these black holes form and grow over cosmic time, and how energy released by active galactic nuclei connects the growth of black holes to their host galaxies and large-scale structures. I will review a few recent observational and theoretical studies that explore AGN activity over a wide range of scales, from the inner accretion flow to the outer regions of galaxy clusters, and using a variety of techniques from observations of individual objects to simulations of whole cosmological volumes. Together, these studies are leading us toward a remarkably detailed picture of how black holes grow and influence their surroundings, and show that black holes have an important (and perhaps unexpected) role to play in history of the Universe.
