A World Without Humans
If you fancy the ‘humanity as virus’ theory propagated in pop-culture by the likes of The Matrix and 12 Monkeys, I’m sure you’ll be sweet on this new book: The World Without Us.
What will our world look like if we disappear in an instant? How long will it take to wipe our mark from the planet? Not long, it turns out. It’s a fascinating look into the fragilities of human-made creations and systems. But also a great reminder that, heck, environmentalism is a human-focused pursuit. The Earth is gonna do fine without us. I like that thought. Frees me from the shackles of recycling anxiety, if nothing else.
(thanks for pointing this out, Audrey!)
