Laughing at Our Self-Destruction: How to Stop Worrying and Accept the Impending Collapse of Human Civilization (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218901714)

Do you suspect that humanity is doomed, and are looking for confirmation that you're not losing your mind? The good news is that you're not crazy! We can deal with quite a bit if we understand the reasons for it. This book will allow you understand why there's not a chance in hell that we'll avoid the impending collapse of human civilization. If that makes you sad, don't worry. Because accepting that we're doomed will allow you to stop worrying and laugh at our self-destruction.

The subtitle of the book is a reference to Stanley Kubrick's 1964 movie Dr. Strangelove. Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. The movie used a darkly comic approach to help people cope with the prospect of nuclear Armageddon. LAUGHING AT OUR SELF-DESTRUCTION follows the same strategy of using humor to help people deal with a situation too horrible to consider.
