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.後享受後世界末日和翔實的生活後，人 ，我急於打開世界上沒有我們 ，我的理解是相同的想法只是進行更深入的，正，因為它是一本書，而不是一個均質的電視特輯。 。 And I hit the audiobook because I don't have time to read actual books these days, sadly.我命中有聲書，因為我沒有時間去閱讀書籍的實際這些天來，可悲的。

Even more sad, I couldn't make it past Disc 6.更可悲的，我不能使過去光盤6 。 That's why this isn't a review--because I couldn't finish it.這就是為什麼這不是一個檢討-因為我無法完成它。 It was too goddamn depressing.它太goddamn沮喪。

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.這本書的帳單作為一個看看會發生什麼事，以這個星球，如果我們要突然消失，所有在一些未災難，使我們所有的東西背後。 Instead, the book should be called The World Would Be Better Off Without Us .相反，這本書應該稱為世界會更好，沒有我們 。 It's the literary equivalent of somebody trying to talk someone else into jumping off a cliff.它的文學相當於有人試圖談別人到跳懸崖。 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.因為是的，有一些資訊關於會發生什麼事之後，我們的，但它的包圍和hemmed在長期的，抽出的帳目，所有crap我們正在做的，以這個星球。 How pretty much everything is killing something somewhere and will be doing so for thousands of years after we're gone.如何漂亮的每樣東西是造成一些地方，並將於這樣做千百年來後，我們正在消失。 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，看看我們如何fucked ，並沒有什麼我們可以做拯救生命對地球。 Except vanish, apparently.除消失，顯然。
