A Community Shaping the Future Together
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.

But all is not yet lost. A look into the past shows that numerous technological solutions are already on the table, we just have to make them usable for the future and be prepared to bring about change where the biggest obstructors are: in power, money and influence.
Human Extinction – The extinction of mankind or how we are destroying ourselves
Human Extinction is a thought-provoking examination of the myriad ways humanity is contributing to its own potential downfall. The author presents a sweeping overview of historical, environmental, and societal issues, intertwining them to illustrate how interconnected and fragile our existence truly is. From ancient civilizations to modern technological advances, the book highlights the patterns of progress and destruction that define human history.
The writing is passionate and earnest, reflecting the author’s deep concern for the future of our planet and species. The book is peppered with historical references, personal anecdotes, and speculative ideas, making it both informative and engaging. For instance, the comparison between ancient advanced civilizations like the Egyptians and modern society provides a compelling framework for understanding how past mistakes are being repeated on a grander scale today. I think the section discussing the fall of these civilizations due to environmental changes and societal collapse resonates with current global challenges.
While the book’s organization may pose some challenges, its core message is clear and urgent. I felt that the digressions into conspiracy theories and speculative history, while interesting, can sometimes detract from the more solid arguments presented.
The author’s ability to inspire critical thinking is undeniable. The chapter on modern technology and its implications for resource depletion and environmental degradation is particularly poignant. The author effectively highlights the paradox of technological advancement; while it brings numerous benefits, it also accelerates resource consumption and environmental harm. The call for a global rethink and collective action is a powerful reminder of our shared responsibility.
Human Extinction: The Extinction of Mankind or How We Are Destroying Ourselves is a compelling read for any person interested in environmental science, history, and societal issues. I would recommend this book to readers who are passionate about understanding the broader context of humanity’s impact on the planet and are looking for a catalyst to inspire change.
