After enjoying the post-apocalyptic and informative Life After People , I was eager to crack open The World Without Us , which I understood to be the same idea just more in depth, being, as it was, a book and not a homogenized TV special.后享受后世界末日和翔实的生活后，人 ，我急于打开世界上没有我们 ，我的理解是相同的想法只是进行更深入的，正，因为它是一本书，而不是一个均质的电视特辑。 。 And I hit the audiobook because I don't have time to read actual books these days, sadly.我命中有声书，因为我没有时间去阅读书籍的实际这些天来，可悲的。

Even more sad, I couldn't make it past Disc 6.更可悲的，我不能使过去光盘6 。 That's why this isn't a review--because I couldn't finish it.这就是为什么这不是一个检讨-因为我无法完成它。 It was too goddamn depressing.它太goddamn沮丧。

The book was billed as a look at what would happen to the planet if we were to suddenly all vanish in some unspecified cataclysm, leaving all of our stuff behind.这本书的帐单作为一个看看会发生什么事，以这个星球，如果我们要突然消失，所有在一些未灾难，使我们所有的东西背后。 Instead, the book should be called The World Would Be Better Off Without Us .相反，这本书应该称为世界会更好，没有我们 。 It's the literary equivalent of somebody trying to talk someone else into jumping off a cliff.它的文学相当于有人试图谈别人到跳悬崖。 Because yes, there's some information about what would happen after us, but it's surrounded and hemmed in by long, drawn out accounts of all the crap we're doing to the planet.因为是的，有一些资讯关于会发生什么事之后，我们的，但它的包围和hemmed在长期的，抽出的帐目，所有crap我们正在做的，以这个星球。 How pretty much everything is killing something somewhere and will be doing so for thousands of years after we're gone.如何漂亮的每样东西是造成一些地方，并将于这样做千百年来后，我们正在消失。 And more importantly, how we're fucked and there's nothing we can do to save life on the planet.更重要的是，看看我们如何fucked ，并没有什么我们可以做拯救生命对地球。 Except vanish, apparently.除消失，显然。
