Are we in imminent danger of extinction? Yes, we probably are,
argues John Leslie in his chilling account of the dangers facing
the human race as we approach the second millenium.
The End of the World is a sobering assessment of the many
disasters that scientists have predicted and speculated on as
leading to apocalypse. In the first comprehensive survey, potential
catastrophes - ranging from deadly diseases to high-energy physics
experiments - are explored to help us understand the risks.
One of the greatest threats facing humankind, however, is the
insurmountable fact that we are a relatively young species, a risk
which is at the heart of the 'Doomsday Argument'. This argument, if
correct, makes the dangers we face more serious than we could have
ever imagined. This more than anything makes the arrogance and
ignorance of politicians, and indeed philosophers, so disturbing as
they continue to ignore the manifest dangers facing future
generations.
