Radical Readers Book Club: "The World Without Us"

The Radical Readers Book Club welcomes readers, writers and book lovers of all kinds to join us for our first meeting. We will be discussing Alan Weisman's "The World Without Us," an intriguing narrative that explores what the Earth would look like, well, without us.

The book reveals how, just days after humans disappear, floods in New York's subways would start eroding the city's foundations, and how, as the world’s cities crumble, asphalt jungles give way to real ones. Drawing on the expertise of engineers, atmospheric scientists, art conservators, zoologists, oil refiners, marine biologists, astrophysicists, religious leaders from rabbis to the Dalai Lama, Weisman illustrates what the planet might be like today, if not for us.
