Everything is going to Kill Everybody!
If you want something to worry about, I can give you a whole book of things – the only catch is that you will be laughing so hard you won’t get to worry about any of them… until latter.
Everything is going to Kill Everybody is a book written by Robert Brockway, who has collected horrifying facts and stories about threats to global life, which are happening right now. This collection is seriously disturbing in description and demonstration of how precarious life on this planet really is, as long as humans are here.
Brockway is also amazingly funny. I laughed so hard during the first story about the Russian who saved us all from nuclear holocaust; I had to put the book down after I realized that the second story used the same primal humor juxtaposed against another horror concocted by intelligent humans. I knew I couldn’t handle another bout so soon. But after a break, I went right back to the book.
What is not funny is that after a bit of research to check Brockway’s claims, I discovered that, yes, we are, as a species, tremendously genocidal, and it has truly been a matter of precarious luck that we have survived this long. I give us another week at the rate we are concocting new ways to eradicate life.
So, seriously, check out the book, and you too will realize just how absurd theories like 2012 really are … when compared to the threat the farming industry already poses.
