The End is Always Near

Each piece of this book was engaging. It was like listening to Dan Carlin just free-form discussing the different ways, in history, the world was believed to be ending.

I would say the book overall does not tend to make... an arc? But that would be an intensely hard thing to do- to put any kind of overarching themes or lessons to all these various apocalyptic scenarios.

I would say that each piece is also well thought out. Spitballing how things might have been different, and why things happened the way they did, is one of Dan Carlin's biggest strengths, as well as his immense body of research (or as he calls it, his notes from his shows).

And as I quoted before, his thoughts on pandemics are so accurate as to really hurt, today, in April 2020.
