In short, everything in here will kill you and everyone you love. At any moment. And nobody’s told you about it*—*until now:** *• Experiments in green energy like the HiPER, which uses massive lasers to create a tiny “contained” sun; it’s an idea that could save the world if it doesn’t consume us all in a fiery fusion reaction first. • Global disasters like the hypercane—a hurricane so large it could cover all of North America and shoot trailer parks into space!• Terrifying new developments in robotics like the EATR, which powers itself on meat*—*an invention in the running for “Worst Decision Made by Anybody.” THREE RIVERS PR 9780307464347 eng General Social Science Death & Dying Humor Technology & Engineering Nature Science Sociology Ecology Natural Disasters Disasters & Disaster Relief Environmental System failures (Engineering) Hazardous substances Engineering (General)
