The End Is Always Near: Apocalyptic Moments, from the Bronze Age Collapse to Nuclear Near Misses by Dan Carlin
4.0
Dan is known for his amazing podcast: Hardcore History, so I choose the audiobook version of his book to hear him read it himself. The book is amazing and hops history from apocalypse to apocalypse showing that we as humans are very good at fucking ourselves over. This is very comforting with view of climate change and another big world war coming up between USA and China.
In the book, Dan also asks questions like: what is toughness, and which generation is the toughest. As a softy raised in a too comfy place I know it's not me, and I don't really care.
I just care to know that we as a species haven't changed much and probably never will. We will fuck ourselves over again and again. Civilisation will fall. But it's alright. It's all part of history.
