Hopelessly Human: The Big Reset
Hopelessy Human Synopsis
There have been multiple population resetting events. It took from the beginning of time until 1804 for the world population to reach one billion. It took only 200 more years for it to reach eight billion, with four billion of that occurring in the last 100 years. Estimates of population size the Earth can sustainably support range from three to eight billion people, yet one quarter of the world’s population currently lives without clean water and sufficient sanitation.
The need for a human population reset is inevitable. Human greed and carelessness are the catalytic events that facilitate a catastrophic collapse in civilization. While disease kills a significant portion of the population, it is the human reaction to the disaster that ultimately takes down society.
Exploring what that world would look like leads the reader on a roller coaster ride through the lives of the survivors and what they both are forced, and choose, to do, not only to survive, but actually live, and thrive.
