End Times: A Brief Guide to the End of the World

Synopsis of End Times: A Brief Guide to the End of the World

In 'End Times: A Brief Guide to the End of the World', Bryan Walsh, a science and investigative journalist from Newsweek and Bloomberg, explores the history of extinction and offers a cutting-edge examination of existential risk, the dangerous mistakes we have yet to pay for, and the concrete steps we can take to protect ourselves and secure our future. Walsh examines threats that emerge from nature and those of our own making: asteroids, supervolcanoes, nuclear war, climate change, disease pandemics, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and extraterrestrial intelligence. Walsh details the true probability of these world-ending catastrophes, the impact on our lives if they were to happen, and the best strategies for saving ourselves.
