About a hundred years ago, humanity went through one of the worst phases in its history: a world war and, immediately afterward, a pandemic. Yet it survived and learned from that specific threat. A moment of "Revelation," one of the many that brought our world to the brink of destruction.

Dan Carlin, creator of the extremely popular and award-winning online radio talk show, Hardcore History, presents some of these moments from the past, showing us how to face similar challenges in the present and future.

In The End Is Always Near, the author examines the questions that arise during the difficult times in history: Do hard times make us more resilient? Can humanity handle the power of its weapons without self-destructing? Are there limits to human technology and its capabilities? Do pandemics still pose a threat? No one knows the answers to such questions, but no one articulates them better than Dan Carlin.

Combining his characteristic blend of storytelling, historical data, and strange facts, the author connects the past and the future in an exciting and vivid way. At the same time, the themes he asks us to ponder relate to the most important issue there is: the survival of humanity.

From the collapse in the Bronze Age to the present day, this theme haunts humanity. An exciting, vibrant work that will make us re-examine the way we view the past and the future, noticing the chilling similarities between them, as we continue to experience the effects of the recent pandemic, which served as a reminder of how easily we lose what we take for granted.
