Have you read or heard of The World without us by Alan Weisman?

Question

What do you think?

Answer 1

I loved the book. His strategy for describing the effect of humans on the environment was novel by showing what would happen to the environment, (and our artifacts) if we were to disappear all of a sudden. In a weird sort of way, it made me somewhat proud of the gigantic engineering necessary to run a civilization.

Answer 2

i presumed it substitute into distinctly stable. this is a wierd state of affairs because of the fact Weisman envisions what the international may be like if everybody in basic terms disappeared without hint - no nuclear conflict, no pandemic, in basic terms vanished. in addition they made a distinctly stable television sequence out of the belief on discovery channel.

Answer 3

to me it is interesting, though i wonder if the world would be better served by putting thought into how to help it heal itself while humans still survive, as the concept of no human life on earth doesnt seem very likely soon, but hey who knows
of course, its a personal opinion if humans have a responsibility to use their gifts to actually help,
overall, to me it describes almost a returning to pre human earth conditions, with some trash left behind
