With his trademark blend of science and storytelling, Diamond explores why societies crumble, from Easter Island to the Maya. He weaves together climate change, environmental damage, and human choices, revealing eerie parallels to our modern world. It’s a sobering yet hopeful read that left me pondering our own society’s future. Diamond’s passion for the subject shines through, making complex ideas accessible and thought-provoking.

The past was a world of isolated societies, each inventing its own solutions to problems, but today we are one interconnected world sharing common problems.
