The End of the World Book: A Novel

Product Information

I’ve read this book and I must say I found the ending an emotional quibble, I wasn’t sure how I felt about the idea of the choice the pair made but I enjoyed the journey made by the plot if you see what I mean?

The book’s on-the-ground reporting from out-of-the-way places across India and Pakistan is outstanding.That’s always possible , of course — cough, World War 1, cough — but it doesn’t seem like we should just assume that that kind of utter stupidity will prevail. This book will transform how you see our biggest environmental problems -- and how we can solve them.

The story starts good enough and it's really interesting in world building but after the first haft it is all downhill and the Finale is horrible. Either way, it has the feeling of a land gone to seed, with bombed-out, disconnected cities, enormous red suns, inexplicable, endless fires. Rewriting history was never on Nate’s to-do list, but seeing as he’s the only viable candidate, he’ll give it his best shot or die trying. I sincerely hope that the author improve the quality and don't add any brainless scenarios in the further books.Through gestures such as turning the culture upside down, finding a fixed place on which to stand, listening to what the earth is saying, and dancing a ghostly vision into being, these prophets helped their people survive. But except for the areas hit directly by WW2 fighting, humanity did not revert back to a pre-1870 standard of living, as Zeihan predicts could be a consequence of global security chaos. It’s also not clear that even a partial collapse of globalization would be as dramatic as Zeihan claims. The story starts as expected: the MC gets the best skills, knows where to hunt to add levels, and moves through the first world. I did kind of want another chapter, or another scene to the story other than just leaving it they way they did and then putting an epilogue.

This is not an Indigenous issue, this is an environmental issue, which makes it every human being’s problem. The smaller plot points might have slipped from my memory over the past twelve months but within just a couple of chapters of Walker’s sequel, The End of the World Survivors Club, I was right back with his characters as they struggled to survive and find a way to live in a world that’s been decimated. The collective behind it embodies the very politics necessary to win a just transition that is worthy of the name: Indigenous-led, internationalist, rooted in solidarity, and crackling with moral clarity. No food, no power, no internet; society begins to break down, but even this can barely distract a new mother from the magic of her child. Three or four decades from now, I predict, we will not find our world shattered into a pastiche of isolated regional economies, separated by oceans full of pirates and marauding neocolonialist empires.

That is very much the vibe of Paul Tremblay’s Cabin at the End of the World, which mixes a violent home invasion with a looming apocalypse to chilling effect. She’s reluctant to consider he might have changed and that says more about Beth than it does her husband. Yet Charleston's ancestors are a case study in the liberating and hopeful survival of a spiritual community.

With a love of books, videogames, animals, art and of course Strawberries there's always something on my mind I just love to discuss. Of course our narrator is afflicted with the worst possible thing you could have in such a scenario, and also the thing that might save everyone: hyperempathy, meaning she feels the pain of others. e. still there, but stripped of information—until it comes in contact with a survivor’s mind, that is. After civilization has been mostly wiped out by nuclear war, the few survivors become dedicated Luddites, purging themselves of all knowledge and eliminating any who would share or spread it.

An encyclopedia of memory —from A to Z— The End of the World Book deftly intertwines fiction, memoir, and cultural history, reimagining the story of the world and one man’s life as they both hurtle toward a frightening future.
