"A spectacular achievement."-Jeff Kinney, author of Diary of a Wimpy KidIn a full-color debut, a graphic novelist takes an engrossing, gleefully existential deep dive into the many ways that humanity could-and almost did-meet its end.Since 99.9 percent of all species that have lived are extinct, it's bound to be our turn eventually, right? So what's most likely to kill us? A well-timed asteroid? Some new robot overlords? With wit and dry humor, debut graphic novelist Katy Doughty blends science and history to explore our chances of surviving disasters such as plagues, global warming, and alien invasion. Drawing on interviews with experts in fields like infectious diseases, AI, and interplanetary exploration, she combines cutting-edge research with compelling visuals: mugshots of the deadliest microbes, graphs of the winners and losers of mass extinction events, and a whole lot of dinosaur drawings. For apocalypse aficionados, the morbidly curious, and the just plain curious, this is your antidote to existential dread-a timely, imaginative, and ultimately hopeful take on humankind's ability to survive the odds.
