Maybe you already heard, but Alan Weisman wrote a book called The World Without Us about what would happen to the Earth if everybody just disappeared. I heard him on the radio today, talking about the research he did, such as visiting the subway in New York to talk to maintenance works. Anyhoo, it sounds like a pretty cool book, I might get it fo’ FREE from my library.

Without further ado, I present a graphical summary of The World Without Us.

Here’s another summary of what would happen to mankind’s creations if we disappeared. Weird that within two days, New York City’s subways would be flooded. Dang, it sort of makes you think…
