Industry Reviews
"By approaching the end of humanity from this unique angle, as a given, Weisman succeeds in throwing the spotlight on the earth itself--and invests us in her fate. His thought experiment is so intellectually fascinating, so oddly playful, that it escapes categorizing and cliché--in particular that earnest moralizing that can make environmental screeds so predictable. Written as if by a compassionate and curious observer on another planet, his book restores a sense of wonder not just to one little piece of the cosmos, but to the human race whose amazing deeds have transformed it, and whose equally monumental folly now threatens it."

"...Weissman has written a sort of pop science ghost story, in which the whole earth is a haunted house."
