1. The World Without Us
This book is a thought-provoking exploration of what would happen to the natural and artificial world if humans suddenly disappeared. It delves into how our massive infrastructure would decay and how, over time, the Earth would heal from human impact, erasing all traces of our civilization. The author uses this premise to illustrate the lasting impact of humanity on the planet, providing a unique perspective on issues like climate change, pollution, and deforestation.
