52 Times Humanity F**ked Up... But Survived Anyway

Electronic book text

Humanity has achieved extraordinary things: art, science, philosophy, indoor plumbing. It has also tried to nuke the Moon, declared war on sparrows, pushed drugs into the hands of cartels, accidentally punched a hole in the ozone layer, and very nearly ended civilisation because someone trusted a faulty computer.

In 52 Times Humanity F**ked Up, the global follow-up to 52 Times Britain Was a Bellend, we leave one soggy island behind and zoom out to examine the species as a whole. Through 52 sharp, hilarious, and occasionally jaw-dropping chapters, we relive the moments when greed, arrogance, panic, boredom or sheer incompetence made everything worse - sometimes catastrophically so.

But this isn't just a doom scroll in print form. Because alongside the chaos is something oddly reassuring: time and again, we've dragged ourselves back from the brink.

We mess up spectacularly. We fix things eventually. And, against all odds, we carry on.
