Thanatos and The World Without Us
A Links entry from Thursday, August 30, 2007Thanatos and The World Without Us
Alan Weisman wrote a book recently called The World Without Us, which is what this website summarizes in the form of an interactive graphic. It seems to me that this goes in line with a recent trend about the modern society’s “death wish,” so to speak; the fantasy of “what would happen if we all died.” I wouldn’t be surprised if a CGI version of this was featured at the end of another big Hollywood eco-disaster film.
