The end is always near

Dan Carlin, the creator of the most famous history podcast of all time, takes us on an exceptional journey through time to turn

the past into the key to our murky present.

Do difficult times make people tougher? Can we handle the power of our weapons, or are we doomed to self-destruct? Will technology and human capabilities continue to develop, or can they reach a peak or even recede? Are we doomed to disappear?

Nobody has answers to such questions, but only Dan Carlin, the creator of the monumental and multi-award-winning podcast Hardcore History, has the ability to address them in such a brilliant way.

The End Is Always Near is a fascinating and transgressive account of the rise and fall of civilizations that forces us to review everything we thought we knew about history and to reconsider what seemed like fantasies: nothing prevents us from suffering the same fate as our ancestors. Will our world become ruins for future archaeologists to unearth and explore? Carlin's approaches, full of philosophical questions and hypotheses from yesterday, are reminiscent of the best episodes of The Twilight Zone.

Venturing into a wonderful compendium of apocalyptic stories that hook from beginning to end and revolve around a single axis - that of human survival - Dan Carlin breaks all molds and takes us on an exceptional journey through time that seeks to turn the past into the key to our murky present.
