Summary:
The creator from the wildly popular award-winning podcast Hardcore History looks at a number of the apocalyptic moments from the past in an effort to frame the challenges into the future.
Do a down economy create tougher people? Can mankind handle the power of its weapons without destroying itself? Will human being technology or features ever peak or regress? No one understands the answers to such queries, but nobody asks them in a more interesting way than Dan Carlin.
In The End is Usually Near, Dan Carlin looks about THE FINISH is Often Near: Apocalyptic Occasions, from your Bronze Age group Collapse to Nuclear Near Misses at questions and historical events that force us to consider what sounds like fantasy; that we might suffer the same fate that all previous eras did. Will the world ever become a mess up for future archaeologists to dig up and explore? The questions themselves are both philosophical and like something from the Twilight Zone.
Combining his brand mixture of storytelling, history and weirdness Dan Carlin attaches days gone by and future in amazing and colorful ways. At exactly the same time the queries he asks us to consider involve the most important issue imaginable: human being survival. In the collapse of the Bronze Age group to the challenges of the nuclear period the issue offers hung over mankind such as a persistent Sword of Damocles.
Influenced by his podcast, The End is Always Close to challenges just how we look at the past and ourselves. Within this absorbing compendium, Carlin embarks on a complete new set of tales and main cliffhangers that will keep readers enthralled. Idiosyncratic and erudite, offbeat however profound, The End is Generally Near examines issues that are seldom provided, and makes days gone by immediately relevant to our very turbulent present.
