Apocalypse : how catastrophe transformed our world and can forge new futures
Wade, Lizzie (journalist)2026
Book
The history of humanity is one of devastating once-in-a-thousand-year events: rising seas that make land uninhabitable, decades-long droughts, civilisational collapse, epidemics like the Black Death and the Spanish Flu that reduce a city's population by 50%. And yet, despite enormous destruction and very real tragedy, these catastrophes all share one common denominator: we survived. Lizzie Wade reframes the story of human history to show how we can learn from these apocalyptic moments, seeing them not just as violent, world-ending events but as moments of progress and transformation.
