IS OUR WORLD COMING TO AN
END?
Progress tempts us to assume that our world will last indefinitely. But as we face a new
millenium, it becomes increasingly apparent it won't.
Hurtling Toward Oblivion is a guided tour of the realities that present a logical
argument for the end of our age. Dr. Swenson combines the trends of social change, the nature of
humankind, and the rapid advance of progress and technology in a fascinating and disturbing look
at our most probable future. Understand our direction and why we are Hurtling Toward
Oblivion.
