The World Without Us
by Alan Weisman
Book Description:
What would happen to Earth if humans suddenly vanished?
In The World Without Us, award-winning journalist Alan Weisman offers a provocative, imaginative, and deeply researched thought experiment: a world in which humanity disappears overnight. Without our presence, what would happen to our cities, our homes, our monuments—and to nature itself?
With vivid storytelling and scientific insight, Weisman explores how long our artifacts would endure, how quickly ecosystems would recover, and which species would thrive—or perish—without us. From the silent collapse of subway tunnels beneath New York City to the overgrown ruins of Chernobyl and the fate of plastic in the oceans, this book paints a detailed portrait of the resilience of nature and the impermanence of civilization.
At once sobering and hopeful, The World Without Us is not a call for human extinction, but rather a compelling reflection on our environmental footprint and the urgent need to rethink our relationship with the planet.
