À propos de cet audio
The World Without Us is a one-of-a-kind work that sweeps through time from the moment of humanity's future extinction to millions of years into the future. Drawing on interviews with experts and on real examples of places in the world that have already been abandoned by humans - Chernobyl, the Korean DMZ and an ancient Polish forest - Weisman shows both the shocking impact we've had on our planet and how impermanent our footprint actually is.

Great, but goddamn it's depressing.
Adam Grupper's reading is fine, but it is a non-fiction book so it makes sense for just a presentation of the facts, which he does well. For anyone interested in the impact of humans on the Earth get ready to feel defeated thinking there is any chance to undo environmental destruction or preserve what is left. It was really engaging to learn about the impacts of everyday things and our way of life, also how ecological impacts are caused globally, not just pressures from a few specific countries. Weisman has a simple solution of course and that's drastically reduce human population, easier said than done and a hard pill to swallow, but honest and his book does make a good argument. Basically if humans disappeared today the world would be fricked for a good while, but a couple million years would do the trick.

Frightening and Inspiring!
I cannot recall a book that so clearly nurtured an understanding of the world in which we live. The veil of ignorance has been dissolved and never again can I claim “I didn’t know.” As bad as things are, there is still the possibility of doing some good to improve the world. Now is the time to get to work.

Dull and uninteresting
I wasn't sure what to expect with this book, but I can't help but feel that narration would be better served as a sleep aide
