This is the sequel to the award-winning Cosmosapiens, named Book of the Year by the UK’s Times Literary Supplement and One of the Best Science Books of 2015 by The Telegraph.

In his acclaimed Cosmosapiens, renowned scientist John Hands looked back on how we humans evolved from the origin of the universe to the present day. Building on that work, The Future of Humankind: Why We Should Be Optimistic looks ahead to our ultimate destiny.

Listeners embark on a fascinating journey in which Hands evaluates current major predictions for our future in three categories—extinction, survival, and transformation—before making his own unique and astonishing forecast.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

John Hands deconstructs many of the popular “end of the world”prognostications in a relatively quick yet thorough critique. Although, sometimes a bit dry for the non-scientifically inclined, his eventual conclusion of our next evolution into a collective cosmic consciousness is novel, and worthy of consideration.

Thorough, authoritative, and enticing
