The Second Sleep

by Robert Harris

We have broadly identified six possible catastrophic scenarios that fundamentally threaten the existence of our advanced science-based way of life: 1. Climate change 2. A nuclear exchange 3. A super-volcano eruption, leading to rapidly accelerated climate change 4. An asteroid strike, also causing accelerated climate change 5. A general failure of computer technology due either to cyber warfare, an uncontrollable virus, or solar activity 6. A pandemic resistant to antibiotics
