The Book That Asks What Kind of Species We Will Choose to Become

"If the 13.8-billion-year history of the universe were compressed into a single year, the whole of recorded human history occupies only the last eleven seconds before midnight."

We have reshaped the planet, harnessed energy on a cosmic scale, and connected eight billion minds in an instant. And yet we face the gravest risks our species has ever encountered. Eleven Seconds Before Midnight is a scientifically grounded, thoughtful, and ultimately hopeful exploration of who we are — and who we must choose to become.
