The Anti-Catastrophe League

'Consummate and thorough' – 'Darkly entertaining' – A superbly written work of narrative non-fiction by an exciting new talent, a brilliant study of the people and their teams who are trying to save the world. Our species has a unique genius for self-imperilment. The ancient dangers – asteroids, super-volcanoes and worse – still stalk us, but the most pressing time-bombs are of our own making. Our knack for self-imperilment, though, is one side of a coin: for we are also developing a knack for ambitious solutions. The Anti-Catastrophe League The Anti-Catastrophe League
