Description
For all the pessimistic talk about the apocalypse, we still really dont know what humanitys future will ultimately look like. Where will our sea levels be? Will avian flu wipe us off the planet? Will computer viruses throw us into darkness and chaos? In this imaginative, gripping book, Fred Guterl, the executive editor of Scientific American, explores six looming scenarios in vivid detail--the way they might really happen. And along the way produces a portrait of where we are today, where we can be with the right effort, and where we might wind up if were not careful.We find ourselves in a trap: Technology got us into this mess, and its also the only thing that can help us survive it. Guterls riveting book is a grand and necessary thought experiment, not merely a scary story, but a fresh perspective on the world were remaking, which rings a note of optimism about what were capable of.
