A chilling glimpse into our trajectory Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 December 2019 Verified Purchase

The measured, seemingly almost real-time narrative made it even more chilling in its pragmatism. The glacial momentum carried over into the horror of unstoppable inertia. Who hasn’t contemplated the almost ubiquitous runaway human population growth and its sequelae for our planet? The meek shall inherit the Earth…and probably do a much better job.

 A great read of a disturbing future Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 September 2015 A great read of a disturbing future. Well written and delightful in places, shocking in others – all too real. It tells the story of over-population and a world government’s attempt to solve it. You could really identify with the characters and the scene were pictures in your head. You’ll cry in places. If you love good Sci-fi then you will enjoy this book.

Pooja 5.0 out of 5 stars  An incredible read! Reviewed in the United States on 21 February 2018 Verified Purchase

An incredible read! If you’re a fan of futuristic books I would definitely recommend this book. It is so realistic because a lot of the problems we face today are shown in the future that may just come true if we don’t solve them soon. Really loved reading this!

Anthropocene Apocalypse – The massacre started with Agriculture!

Posted on by Opher

Back in the distant past we were all nomadic hunter gatherers. We roamed through the jungles, savannahs, deserts, forests and plains following the herds and living off the land. We respected nature, felt part of it and attempted to live in harmony with it. We blessed it because it fed and clothed us. The ethos of the hunter gatherer, such as the American plains Indian, was to move through the land without leaving a mark.

When we turned to agriculture nature suddenly became the enemy and was no longer the host. It was something to be fought and defeated. We tamed it, ravaged it and laid it waste. The wild beasts threatened our crops, our live-stock and our lives. They had to be destroyed. We needed space to grow our food and took it from the land. As our numbers grew out of balance with nature we took more than could be sustained.

Now our numbers and greed threaten the survival of all living things on this planet.

What can be done?  We can start by altering the zeitgeist!

Read about the problem and solution in my book Anthropocene Apocalypse!

It could be the start of something big! Let’s make a start!
