The World Without Us 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 would give way to real ones. In this far-reaching narrative, Weisman explains how our massive infrastructure would collapse and finally vanish without human presence which everyday items may become immortalized as fossils how copper pipes and wiring would be crushed into mere seams of reddish rock why some of our earliest buildings might be the last architecture left and how plastic, bronze sculpture, radio waves, and some man-made molecules may be our most lasting gifts to the universe. In The World Without Us, Alan Weisman offers an utterly original approach to questions of humanity's impact on the planet: he asks us to envision our Earth, without us. ![]() A penetrating, page-turning tour of a post-human Earth ![]() ![]() ![]() Soon, he discovers that fighting against the passion they ignite in one another is futile.

Too soon they realized they were mates and he started calling her Love, literally came out of left field and she didn’t even like when he did it. I was excited to read about the main character breaking out of her captivity, some tension between her and the king she was trying to kill, some soft gentle scenes of him comforting her and her working through ptsd and seeing the world. ![]() ![]() There was no character development (I know I didn’t finish the book) but it seemed as if the character development went backwards.

Her creative and artistic mind keeps her busy from day to day until her mother falls ill and has to go to the hospital. The story is about a fifteen-year-old girl named Helena who works for a circus. But what better alchemical mix to straight-up fantasy can we have than Neil Gaiman, Dave McKean, and the Henson Company? One thing Henson could do with his puppets that many others never really aspired to do was create fantasy the likes that weren't really done again, and his legacy lives on, using the enriching and creative mind of Gaiman, the celebrated British fantasy writer and comic book artist whose vivid imagination was so perfectly translated into film using practically every chemical for fantasy possible: CGI, animation, painting, set design, split-screen, superimposition, saturated colors, I even think there were moments of stop-motion animation. For every Lord of the Rings, we have ten attempts at The Matrix. However, the fantasy (NOT SCI FI) genre is severely underrepresented in it. The medium of film is-like the medium of writing or other celebrated media-practically limitless in potential for fantastic creations. ![]() ![]() ![]() "A juicy cliff-hanger ending will amp up their appetites for further tarot-based adventures. ![]() “Kresley Cole knows how to capture an audience because I was gone from page one.” “Holy Mother of YA Goodness…did Kresley Cole write a book!
