      If you live on planet Earth, you're probably scared about the future. Terrorism, complicated international relations, global warming, and a raft of other issues make it hard not to be. But how close are we to the end? And what can we expect when we finally reach it. In this hilarious, enlightening and often terrifying book, Pearl gives us a glimpse of the potential end of the world scenarios that could happen sooner than we think - from nuclear war to the end of antibiotics, discovering distant life to the realisation that all cemeteries are full. Weaving together his own research, alongside interviews with scientists and political thinkers, and visiting 'preppers', Pearl investigates how close we really are to the end of the world - and what we can expect when it finally happens. .

    • Viele Zukunftsszenarien jagen uns Angst ein: Was wäre, wenn ein Atomkrieg ausbräche, die Fische ausstürben oder es kein Öl mehr in Saudi-Arabien gäbe? Und auch positive Gedankenspiele können uns verunsichern: Was wäre, wenn jeder Mensch unsterblich wäre oder es keine Schlachthöfe mehr gäbe? Mike Pearl liefert das beste Rezept gegen unsere Angst: detailliertes Wissen. Er nimmt zahlreiche mögliche Ereignisse unter die Lupe und zeigt mit Hilfe von Experten, was in solchen Fällen passieren würde. Dabei wird klar: Die meisten Szenarien sind bei näherer Betrachtung gar nicht mehr so beängstigend. Und: Die Zukunft ist besser als ihr Ruf!
