The rapid pace of environmental change threatens to drastically transform our world. What might the future look like? Alan Weisman, best-selling author of The World Without Us
(Traduction française : Homo disparitus
), peers ahead 50 to 100 years to construct plausible scenarios for three widely divergent ecosystems, and the people who inhabit them.
After the water wars: Las Vegas, the loser, is abandoned by its residents, and left to become a surreal eco-tourism destination.
