Everything Is Going to Kill Everybody
Everything Is Going to Kill Everybody: The Terrifyingly Real Ways the World Wants You Dead | Robert Brockway
4 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
Just when you thought you’d accepted your own mortality . . . Everything Is Going to Kill Everybody is bringing panic back. Twenty illustrated, hilariously fear-inducing essays reveal the chilling and very real experiments, dangerous emerging technologies, and terrifying natural disasters that soon could—or very nearly already did—bring about the end of humanity. In short, everything in here will kill you and everyone you love. At any moment. And nobody’s told you about it—until now: • Experiments in green energy like the HiPER, which uses massive lasers to create a tiny “contained” sun; it’s an idea that could save the world if it doesn’t consume us all in a fiery fusion reaction first. • Global disasters like the hypercane—a hurricane so large it could cover all of North America and shoot trailer parks into space! • Terrifying new developments in robotics like the EATR, which powers itself on meat—an invention in the running for “Worst Decision Made by Anybody.” From the Trade Paperback edition.

Late in this book, the author describes this as "a book about intense fearmongering and creative swearing." Brockway discusses the multiple ways the apocalypse could happen from bio- or nanotechnology to natural disasters, along with a couple of overlooked historical moments when it could have already happened. The book is well-researched, but some of its references are a bit dated and sometimes the humor is a little off target. Still fun.

At some point I put this down and then realized I had no desire to pick it back up. I'm just gonna let this one go. I feel like Brockway's style of writing is better suited to fiction. Still excited to read his next Vicious Circuit book though!
