Corey Carthew gives an amusingly unflappable performance of Walsh's audiobook about the various events that could take down the human race. Walsh's riveting, encompassing work doesn't mince words; he provides backstories on the demise of species past and gives a straightforward analysis of the existential threats to human existence in our midst today. Artificial intelligence is becoming smart enough that simply "unplugging" it may not be an option. Near-Earth objects seem to pop up on our radar with little time to react. Nuclear weapons remain available to capricious heads of state. Walsh is ultimately hopeful--we've made it this far, after all. Carthew's performance is forthright, much like the content. One guarantee? Listeners will not be bored. S.P.C. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2019]
