The world without us: a thought experiment with Alan Weisman

|

What would the world be like without us? Without people that is? How quickly would nature reassert control over our cities and farms - buckling the bitumen and cracking the concrete? And what traces would humans leave behind? The visible ones might be stainless steel saucepans and aluminium dishwasher parts -the invisible ones, much more deadly traces of plastics and heavy metals.

Alan Weisman's book The World Without Us is a a thought experiment, that is by turns uplifting - as it describes the incredible regenerative power of nature - and depressing, as it informs us of the long-term and often invisible damage we have inflicted on the planet, particularly over the past half century.
