“Pretty good book. In a book that I figured would strictly focus on a bunch of scenarios, I learned as much about the way the world works right now and did in the past as I possibly could have. And that's good. Because Weisman used those things to make the case for his scenarios. Had he not done so, all of us would have been sitting around criticizing him for "making stuff up." He presented possibilities for how the world would change once we were gone, but he did so only after explaining what was there before, what we did to change that, and whether what we did would be permanent or not. Well done.”
