| Alarming, certainly, but alarmist never - Rees delivers his terrible prophecies with donnish understatement
The Evening Standard
|
It matters that one should understand the provenance of this important and disturbing book.It is not another futurological diatribe saying that the end is nigh, but a lucid, calm, profoundly well-informed work by a distinguished scientist, whose humanity evidenced by a serious ethical commitment and a quiet sense of humour- balances the dispassionate logic with which he surveys his subject: the multitude of threats facing humanity in the twenty-first century from error and terror in the nuclear, biological and environmental spheres.

| One of the most provocative and unsettling books I have read for many years... That a scientist so distinguished as Rees should air these fierce anxieties is a sign that something is amiss
J G Ballard Daily Telegraph

| Sir Martin is no doom merchant... His prognostications, written in laymen's language, are all the more chilling for the reasonable tone in which they are expressed.

| Start storing candles and bottled water now. You have been warned.
