Thanks to Deal Hunter phoinix for posting this deal.

Available Retailers:Book Details:
  • Author: Dan Carlin
  • Print Length: 293 pages
  • The creator of the wildly popular award-winning podcast Hardcore History looks at some of the apocalyptic moments from the past as a way to frame the challenges of the future.
  • In The End is Always Near, Dan Carlin looks at questions and historical events that force us to consider what sounds like fantasy; that we might suffer the same fate that all previous eras did. Will our world ever become a ruin for future archaeologists to dig up and explore? The questions themselves are both philosophical and like something out of The Twilight Zone.
  • Inspired by his podcast, The End is Always Near challenges the way we look at the past and ourselves. In this absorbing compendium, Carlin embarks on a whole new set of stories and major cliffhangers that will keep readers enthralled. Idiosyncratic and erudite, offbeat yet profound, The End is Always Near examines issues that are rarely presented, and makes the past immediately relevant to our very turbulent present.

fine, only because you asked

Trees and land absorbed almost no CO2 last year. Is nature's carbon sink failing?
The sudden collapse of carbon sinks was not factored into climate models – and could rapidly accelerate global heating

Don't worry, as long as we don't piss off Aquaman and the Atlanteans we should be OK LMAO


The ocean does a significantly better job than the atmosphere at taking in carbon dioxide (CO2), acting as the Earth's largest carbon sink by absorbing around 30% of the CO2 released into the atmosphere from human activities like burning fossil fuels

The one episode per year of Hardcore History is really baffling to me. I would've listened to Dan Carlin talk about any topic outside of his interviews.

Yes, the US presidential election is near. WW3 is already in progress. More nuclear plants to power AI and disasters are near, too.

He does extensive research for each episode, which seems like those episodes are released at a snail's pace. The episodes on WW1 and ones on the Mongols were phenomenal!

I agree with you on listening to him talk.. he and David Attenborough. They can probably talk about paint drying and I'll still listen intently.

I just finished this as an audiobook via Spotify, read by the author, thoroughly enjoyable. Good book, but since Dan reads it, see if you can grab the audiobook from your library maybe.

The ocean effect is the first thing the linked guardian article brings up. Spoiler alert..it ain't good.
