Twenty illustrated, hilariously fear-inducing  essays reveal the chilling andvery realexperiments, dangerous emerging technologies, and terrifying natural disasters that soon could-or very nearly already did-bring about the end of humanity.

" Global disasters like the hypercane-a hurricane so large it could cover all of North America and shoot trailer parks into space! " Terrifying new developments in robotics like the EATR, which powers itself on meat-an invention in the running for “Worst Decision Made by Anybody. ”
