Do tough times create tougher people? Can humanity handle the power of its weapons without destroying itself? Will human technology ever peak or regress? And why, since the dawn of time, has it always seemed as though death and destruction are waiting just around the corner?
Combining his trademark thrilling, expansive storytelling with rigorous history and thought experiment, Dan Carlin connects past with future to explore the tipping points of collapsing civilisations — from the plague to nuclear war.
Looking across every brush with apocalypse, crisis and collapse, this book also weighs, knowing all we do about human patterns, whether our world is likely to become a ruin for future archaeologists to dig up and explore.

Citações

    Legend has it that the last Assyrian king gathered all his precious goods and artifacts around him and set them on fire with him in the middle, burning to death as the allied armies were breaking down the walls of Nineveh.

    It’s easy to attribute altruistic or heroic motives to a “preserver of civilization,” but in truth the Assyrians may simply have been trying to preserve their conquests and booty from being purloined by another.

    The magnificent army that the Assyrians created wasn’t just a tool for the protection of their state but also for the furthering of their interests.
