Human Extinction presents an overview of the myriad of ways humanity is responsible for its own downfall, highlighting the progress and destruction that define our history. What inspired you to write this book?

Actually, it was only because of a statement by Greta Thunberg that “The Germans are the number 1 climate sinners” that I got the idea to look into this topic more intensively. I then looked into the topic more intensively and you quickly realized that this statement has no basis and that there are not only the problems of the climate, but many others, all of which are intertwined in some way.

Can you share with us a little about the research required to put your book together?

I looked at a lot of reports, statistics and documentation and put things into context. The basic principle is actually an inspiration and a lot of thinking about what effects this has on other areas of life. At the moment we are actually living in a very exciting time, because things that could help us are only now being developed or published. I’ll try to show this with an example: Everyone knows Photovaltak systems, they’re on everyone’s lips. As we all know, however, these only work during the day, but a German company (rawlemon.com) has linked this technology to “a magnifying glass” and this system even works at night, I think further development will not be long in coming . The fact that this is also available as a color or foil is very new and sounds exciting

What is your background and experience in writing, and how did it help you write Human Extinction?

It was information with a lot of inspiration. It is a mental process of connecting things together to see what effects one has on the other.

What is one thing you hope readers are able to take away from your book?

There is always a lot to hope for. I would like more people to think about how we can shape the future of our children without doing more damage to our planet. It doesn’t help to just believe everything that prominent people say, we should think about what is being said and what impact it might have. We are not everyone in this world. We should all be a community that shapes the future together.
