Humans appeared 300,000 years ago, living peacefully for the next 290,000. Had they predicted what would happen next, we'd never have wound up here.

Imagine today’s world as an equation, and everything bad seems to be increasing exponentially. Things are rapidly deteriorating, but how did we get here? Is our civilization about to collapse? To answer these questions, the creators Grégory Jarry and Otto T. examine the 290,000 years during which hu­mans were hunters and gatherers and the 10,000 years since the emergence of agriculture. What if a system that requires such huge amounts of energy was doo­med to collapse? Seen in that light, you might find yourself asking: what’s the point if everything's in ruins? But maybe... there’s still hope.
